Clavette set to join Biddeford’s team

The city of Biddeford is poised to hire Denise Clavette as its next director of Planning and Economic Development, a position that has been vacant since July.

If approved by the city council on Tuesday, Clavette will fill the void left by the sudden resignation of George Gervais who held the job for only 18 months.

According to her proposed employment contract, Clavette will be paid $125,000 per year as a salaried employee with four weeks of paid vacation time.

Clavette has worked in several Maine communities, including serving as Saco’s director of economic development for nearly four years, 2018-2022.

According to her resume, Clavette previously served as assistant city manager in Auburn; two years as economic development director for the town of South Berwick.

Clavette is today the economic development director for the Town of Gray, Maine, a position she started 11 months ago.

On her resume, Clavette describes herself as a “professional, ethical and innovative leader with excellent communication skills.”
