Trenton Hires City Manager for $1

Council members voted in favor of hiring a new city manager for the low, low price of $1 at the Trenton City Council meeting Monday night.

An urban development professor at Wayne State University, Benjamin Tallerico, will work on behalf of the City of Trenton to help promote Trenton business and to fill store fronts with viable businesses, according to Mayor Kyle Stack.

Tallerico offered his services and expertise to help set up an economic plan for the city.

Wayne State University students may also get involved in improving the city's economic success as unpaid interns on the project.

"I feel this will be a great opportunity to move forward with this effort," Stack said.
