Episode #216: Heidi Siegel – Mastering Small Government in Jupiter Inlet Colony
Thursday, 23 April, 2026
Heidi Siegel, Town Manager of Jupiter Inlet Colony, joins host Steve Vancore to offer a window into one of Florida's most unique municipalities. Founded in 1959 on the northern edge of Palm Beach County, the town is entirely residential — 267 homes and between 400 and 600 residents depending on the season — with a small but dedicated staff and a concierge-level approach to local government.Heidi joined the town in August 2024 as its first-ever town manager following a change to the town's charter. She and Steve discuss what it means to be a small-government specialist (not just a jack-of-all-trades but a master of all trades) and the distinctive demands and rewards of serving a tight-knit, high-expectation community.
