MALTA – Last week, following a national search, Malta officials announced the appointment of a Long Island man to replace longtime building and planning lead Anthony Tozzi. In early October, Tozzi announced his retirement from the position.
Anthony Trezza will replace Tozzi as the staff leader of Malta’s Building and Planning Department, having served as the principal planner in the Town of Southampton, New York since 2014.
“The Town of Malta presents some of the most unique planning opportunities in the Northeast, as a growing town with one of the most advanced technology manufacturers on the planet,” said Malta Supervisor Vincent DeLucia, in a prepared statement.
Trezza will be working with Malta’s team of professional planners to continue the town’s transformation related to the Luther Forest Technology Campus and update a Comprehensive Plan in 2018.
At a special meeting on Oct. 25, the Malta Town Board approved Trezza’s appointment and he will begin his new role on Jan. 2, 2018.
