UPPER MARLBORO TOWN ADMINISTRATOR
SNYDER ACCEPTS POSITION
AS TOWN MANAGER WITH
TOWN OF BERWYN HEIGHTS
“Perhaps even more importantly, Kyle is known
around town for his kindness and willingness to help”
UPPER MARLBORO, MD (Aug. 10, 2023) – Kyle Snyder, who has held several essential roles with the Town of Upper Marlboro government over the past eight years, announced that he had accepted a new position as Town Manager with the Town of Berwyn Heights in Prince George’s County. Snyder’s last day with the Town of Upper Marlboro will be Aug. 23, Mayor Sarah Franklin announced to the Town residents at a special Town meeting held this past Tuesday.
During his tenure with the Town of Upper Marlboro, Snyder served in multiple positions, including Deputy Clerk, Chief of Staff to the Mayor, and Town Administrator when the position was established in the Charter in 2021. Snyder initially started his career in municipal government working part-time for the City of Greenbelt and Town of Berwyn Heights while attending the University of Maryland. Snyder also currently serves on the Prince George’s County Fire Commission, as well as the President of the Maryland City-County Managers Association.
“To say we are sad to see Kyle leave us is a huge understatement,” Mayor Franklin said Tuesday. “During his distinguished eight years of service with our Town, Kyle has worked tirelessly to modernize the town’s government, expand access to grants, and implement projects that the community previously had only wished for.
“His dedication has led to countless improvements including downtown sidewalk improvement, parking upgrades, revamping the Town’s social media, annexations, and the development of new Town parks including the Upper Marlboro Community playground and the Downtown pocket park,” Franklin said. “He also worked to align the Town's ordinances and processes with a modern government structure including the shift from three elected officials to five.
“Perhaps even more importantly, Kyle is known around town for his kindness and willingness to help,” Franklin added. “I know my fellow commissioners and I piled a lot on Kyle’s plate during our time working together, and that’s because he is not only knowledgeable and dependable, he’s also great to work with, a total team player, and incredibly selfless. We will miss him greatly.”
Snyder said he was sad to be leaving the Town of Upper Marlboro but is excited to see the positive trajectory the Town is on for the future.
“I am grateful to the residents and all of the elected officials of the Town for the opportunity to serve the Town for the past eight years,” Snyder said. “I have learned and grown much with the Town and will treasure the relationships and lessons learned for the rest of my career. While I am sad to be leaving, I am excited for the track that the Town is on for future revitalization and growth.”
Snyder will start in his new position with the Town of Berwyn Heights later this month.
