Glens Falls names Drawbridge as new Communications Director

GLENS FALLS — Glens Falls Mayor Bill Collins announced today that he has appointed Tim Drawbridge as the city’s next Communications Director.

Drawbridge, a native of South Glens Falls, currently serves as a meteorologist for WTEN-TV in Albany, but he has a history of developing public relations campaigns, and assisting local nonprofits with developing and distributing messages, according to a release from the Mayor’s office.

“We are happy to add Tim to our great team working hard in City Hall,” Mayor Collins said in the release. “His work behind the scenes, literally, with regional nonprofits to help them develop their outreach and their voices will be very helpful as the City develops new outreach processes. Tim’s communications talent is evident, as anyone who has watched him deliver his reports on TV.”

“I am very happy to join the team at this exciting time in the city’s long history,” Drawbridge said. “Between the Downtown Revitalization Initiative plans that are moving forward, and the historic investments in paving and sidewalks in the city’s neighborhoods, there’s a lot happening in ‘Hometown USA.’”

Drawbridge officially began his role today on a part-time basis until his contract with WTEN-TV is fulfilled. 

“I am looking forward to digging into all of the good news, and ensuring it is getting out into the community,” said Drawbridge.

“We very much look forward to Tim’s contributions in the city’s communication efforts,” Collins said in the release.
