Come March 11, the town will be without an administrator, Mallory Aronstein, who has served as Swansea’s Town Administrator the last five years, announced at the Jan. 15 Board of Selectmen meeting.

She said she is planning her departure from Swansea around the March 10 Select Board meeting in time to finalize the town budget and the annual Town Meeting warrant. In doing so, she hopes to “leave Swansea with the best foot forward during a busy time,” she said at the Thursday night meeting of the town’s Selectmen. 

She has confirmed her appointment as Mansfield's next Town Manager.

“I am staunchly grateful for my time in Swansea,” Aronstein said, calling the coastal town a “gem” in southeastern Massachusetts, while recounting memorable projects and experiences that brought her face-to-face with businesses and residents.
