It’s official: Wayland City Manager Joshua Eggleston will become Zeeland Township’s first-ever superintendent.
The Zeeland Township Board took only three minutes in a special meeting Wednesday afternoon to vote 7-0 to approve a contract with Eggleston. The position of superintendent is similar to that of township manager. Zeeland has never before had such a position.
Eggleston, who was city manager at Wayland for six years, lives in Zeeland Township with his family.
Eggleston only last week withdrew as a finalist for the village manager’s post at Saugatuck. Sources say he lives only a couple of blocks away from the township hall, which would reduce his transportation expenses greatly. He is expected to earn more than $100,000 a year in salary.
