(Deerfield, MA) The Town of Deerfield is searching for full time employees to fill the positions of town clerk and treasurer/collector. These roles have recently been split by a special legislative act that was signed by Governor Baker on October 31st, after the town residents approved the split at the Town Meeting in April. The two roles have been combined for decades until the previous town clerk/collector/treasurer Barbara Hancock resigned in January and the town decided the role would be best filled by two full time employees.
