Summary
As Orleans enters a new year, this episode of Orleans: Behind the Scenes takes a step back to reflect on what defined 2025 - and looks ahead to what’s coming in 2026. Hosts Mia and Amanda are joined by Town Manager Kim Newman and Assistant Town Manager Mark Reil for a wide-ranging conversation about the themes, priorities, and behind-the-scenes work that shaped the past year. Together, they discuss community support, housing, public service, staffing, communications, and the major initiatives that set the stage for the Town’s future. The episode also offers insight into how Town government approaches long-term planning, what residents may not always see, and what the community can expect in the year ahead - making it a helpful starting point for anyone who wants to better understand how Orleans works and where it’s headed.
