Dear Reading Business Community, 

It is with a bittersweet heart that I report I will be moving on from the Town of Reading to be the City of Chelsea’s Director of Housing & Community Development. This is a remarkable career opportunity for me to pursue and was one of the most challenging decisions I’ve had to make in my professional career. 

The difficulty I have felt in deciding to depart lies squarely in my affection for the Town of Reading and especially its business community. Serving as your liaison and peer for the last year has been a an absolute pleasure, and the individuals I’ve met and the relationships we’ve cultivated have meant so much to me. I hope that the progress we’ve made continues onward and that all of you succeed in every endeavor.

I wish you all the best. 

My final day with the Town of Reading will be February 15th.

With gratitude,

Ben Cares
