KINGSTON – New Town Administrator Keith Hickey is officially on the job after being selected as the unanimous choice to lead Kingston going forward.
Hickey, previously the town manager in Winchendon - located in central Massachusetts on the New Hampshire border - started Monday, Feb. 1, after giving the required notice to his former employer.
He thanked everyone he has met so far for welcoming him with open arms and said he looks forward to working with everybody before getting down to business at his first meeting of the Board of Selectmen Tuesday night.
“It’s been a great couple of days I’ve been in town and have had the opportunity to meet with department heads and discuss some of the ongoing issues they’re dealing with and preparing for the fiscal 2022 budget,” he said.

KINGSTON – Restaurants hoping to offer outdoor dining this year are directed to contact the town’s building department to determine if they are eligible.
Town officials are responding to calls from residents asking if outdoor dining will be allowed in Kingston.
Ultimately, restaurants that serve alcohol will need approval from the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission, following a public hearing, but the selectmen are advising that restaurant owners first contact Building Inspector and Zoning Enforcement Officer Jason Silva.
Assistant to the Town Administrator and Board of Selectmen Gloria Mitchell said the order that set the rules for outdoor dining last year expired and new stricter standards for accessibility are in place. She said Silva should be able to help business owners determine if they can meet those standards.
