OGDENSBURG – Ogdensburg City Councilors introduced Scott Thornhill as the soon-to-be director public works at a Monday meeting.

Thornhill will replace interim director Gregg Harland who had been filling in for Kit Smith since his retirement in January.

“You’ve done a great job,” he said.

City Manager, John M. Pinkerton selected Thornhill to serve as the city’s chief of public works. Ogdensburg city council is expected to accept that decision Monday.

A Heuvelton, native, Thornhill is married to Holly Thornhill. They have one child, David.
