NORWICH — Norwich Mayor Shawn Sastri has officially withdrawn his application for Youth Bureau Director, after council members tabled the decision to hire him at a council meeting earlier this month.

"I just felt like with the council tabling it, it just felt like the support wasn't there. So I just felt I would finish my term out as mayor," said Sastri.

Alderman Matthew Caldwell said since Sastri has withdrawn his application, the council will begin accepting applications once again, and restarting the hiring process.
