Kevin Berggren

Highway Superintendent

I am a lifelong resident of Newfield. For the last 20 years I’ve lived at 175 Stark Road. My family and I have a hobby farm with 11 cows, two horses, and a donkey. I have two sons:

  •  Kacey, 20-years-old, just graduated college with an associates degree in criminal justice and going through the hiring process with Penn Yan police department. 
  •  Kaleb,17-years-old, will be a senior at Newfield High School the next school year. 

I’ve been a member of the Newfield Fire Department for nearly 20 years, and I am currently the chairman of the board. I’m also a member of the Newfield School Board.

  • I worked in the family business (Charlie’s Towing) until I was 25-years-old. 
  • At 25 years old I worked at the New York State Department of Transportation, out of Ithaca, for 4 months until a job opened up at the Town of Newfield.
  • From 25 years old to present I’ve been working for the Town of Newfield totaling close to 21.5 years.
  • 16.5 of the 21.5 years has been as the Highway Superintendent and Water-Sewer supervisor.
  •  I possess a class B, C, and D water license, and recently received my Grade 1 Wastewater license and a CDL class A driver’s license
