CITY OF NEWBURGH – Newburgh Planning and Development Director Deirdre Glenn resigned on Friday and will be replaced on an interim basis by an attorney experienced in providing legal services in a number of areas, the city announced on Wednesday.

Glenn, who also had stints as executive director for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh and the Newburgh Armory Unity Center, had replaced James Slaughter when he was fired as the city’s business and industrial development director in October 2014.

Cynthia Corsiglia has been named interim planning and development director.

In addition to providing legal services in areas that included administration, investments and insurance, Corsiglia’s experience includes renegotiating mortgages as a volunteer for the Lawyers Foreclosure Prevention Network, a project of the New York City Bar Association and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
