Maine (WVII) — Bangor officials are looking for outside help after both the city’s finance director and assistant finance director resigned
For now, the city manager and assistant city manager are overseeing the Finance Department and reallocating staff to help until new hires are made.
This isn’t the first shakeup in the department. The city’s previous finance director also suddenly left in 2024.

However, officials say Bangor is moving in a positive direction.
“We are moving in a direction where we’re going to overhaul the department. The ideas were to try to work with Maine Municipal Association or work within the city’s own departments, particularly, as you mentioned, the airport, which, those are both viable options. I’m comfortable to say that we are better than where we were previously in 2024,” City Councilor Joseph Leonard said.
The city manager has tapped the Bangor International Airport <a href="https://bitcomme.com/financial-services-firms-are-betting-on-ai-for-personalization-and-compliance-not-ad-copy/” title=”Financial services firms are betting on AI for personalization and compliance, not ad copy”>financial manager to serve as the city’s interim finance director.
