Thomas Carroll named Cambridge city manager

Posted

CAMBRIDGE - The Commissioners of Cambridge on March 18 announced the selection of Thomas Carroll of Silverton, Ohio, as the city manager of Cambridge. Carroll is currently the village manager of Silverton, a suburb of Cincinnati, where he has served since 2014.

“Like Cambridge, Silverton is a racially diverse community, with a fairly even split between Black and White residents,” the city’s statement said.

Carroll led economic development projects that increased Silverton’s income tax base by 50%, adding 18% to the property tax base, and reversed 50 years of population loss. Municipal capital investments resulted in over 40% of Silverton’s roads being resurfaced in the last eight years. Carroll is a recognized leader in the Cincinnati region in environmental sustainability.

Prior to his time in Silverton, Carroll served for 12 years (eight years as city manager) in Loveland, another Cincinnati area community where he oversaw public works, planning and economic development, public safety, water and intergovernmental relations. He also served in Savannah, Georgia, and Laramie, Wyoming, prior to coming to Ohio.

Carroll has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia, and two master’s degrees (public affairs/city management and sociology) from Indiana University.

Carroll issued the following statement about his selection, saying, “It is truly an honor to be selected to serve as the city manager of a community with such rich history and natural beauty. I look forward to helping Cambridge leverage its diversity and resources as it seeks to not only maintain, but to enhance the quality of life of its residents. I share Council’s vision regarding economic development, workforce housing, public safety and sustainability, and I eagerly anticipate engaging the community on these objectives. I view public service as a privilege and I can’t wait to call Cambridge home.”

Carroll is expected to begin his new post in the third week of April.
