Brian Allen, Princeton general foreman for the last seven years, has accepted an offer from the Princeton Municipal Light Department Board of Light Commissioners to become general manager.

Before coming to Princeton, Allen was in Sterling for six years and was a lineman in West Boylston for 10 years. Prior to that, Allen spent four years in the Marines doing linework.

Allen is replacing general manager Jonathan Fitch, who is leaving PMLD after 13 years to take the position of general manager for the light department in West Boylston. Fitch’s last day on the job was Oct. 21. The board presented Fitch with a Danbury clock with a photo of the PMLD staff inside. Engraved on the clock was "On behalf of the ratepayers of Princeton, the Board of Light Commissioners, and PMLD employees, we sincerely thank you for all your years of service, leadership, and vision."

Allen said he plans to keep all his certifications up so he can continue to do line work with the crew.

"I’ve spent 25 years as a general lineworker and foreman. Now, I’m in a different position but I’m ready for it," said Allen.
