Middleboro public works director resigns

MIDDLEBORO — Middleboro will soon be without its public works director of 13 years.

Christopher Peck, who took the helm of the Department of Public Works in 2013, sent his resignation letter to the town on Wednesday, Nov. 4. He will step down from his post on Jan. 1, 2027.

Peck said that he is “proudly” going to take the public works director role in Harwich. Peck will join former Middleboro Town Manager Jay McGrail, who became Harwich’s town manager in March.

Peck declined to give a reason for why he is leaving the town.
