Jesse Bane announced his plan to retire in April 2022, after 8 years of leading the Town of Bel Air. Prior to his tenure with the town, Mr. Bane served the county for 42 years as a deputy, detective and two terms as Sheriff. Jesse Bane championed projects including the connection of the Ma and Pa walking trail, water impoundment project, and the renovation/expansion of Town Hall/Bel Air Police Station.
Upon announcing his retirement Mr. Bane added: “After 50 years of public service to the citizens of Harford County and the Town of Bel Air, my decision to retire is one of the most difficult decisions I have ever made. As I reflect on my career, I realize that there are many people I owe for their friendship, their partnership, and their support. I could not have done this without them. I am grateful to my family and my wife for all they have done and the sacrifices they made to allow me to live my dream. I leave the Town of Bel Air in competent hands knowing that the future spells nothing but continuing success for the Town with them at the helm. This is not goodbye; I will still be looking for projects and activities to make myself useful. My only hope is that my contributions over the years have made a difference. My journey has been rewarding, and I am most appreciative of those who made this journey with me.”
