Wayland City Manager Joshua Eggleston, who only last week withdrew as a finalist for the village manager’s post at Saugatuck, will be offered a similar job at Zeeland Township Wednesday, May 29.

Sources say Eggleston lives only a couple of blocks away from the township hall, which would reduce his transportation expenses greatly.

The Township Board will have a special meeting Wednesday afternoon to approve a contract with Eggleston. He is expected to earn more than $100,000 a year in salary.

Zeeland Township has just created the township supervisor’s position in an attempt to have a chief executive officer.

Eggleston, who has been city manager at Wayland for the past six years, was among the final four candidates as reported earlier this month, in Saugatuck.
