My Name is Scott Hilliard. I was hired by the Select Board to be your Town Administrator. I began my duties on January 2, 2024. I am writing to introduce myself and am excited to work with the Town employees and Board of Selectmen, to continue to make Andover the wonderful community to live and raise our families. 

I am a lifelong resident of New Hampshire and served 14 years as your County Sheriff. I have worked all my life serving the people. I also served as Chief of Police in Northfield, and then as your County Sheriff. Public service is my calling, and I look forward to working for the wonderful citizens of Andover.

As I get my feet under me, I am hoping to get out and around to know the roads and businesses.  As you are all aware, it’s the annual budget season, which we are diligently attacking. Many of you have stopped to introduce yourself in the Town Office. On February 29, I am invited to speak at The Andover Community Hub. I hope many can attend. I will see you all at Town Meeting on March 12, at AE/MS.
