Georgetown Municipal Light Department has hired a new General Manager, David Schofield, after Wayne Snow retired in March of this year. They have been working side-by-side since then, and David officially took over on May 1.

Wayne had been at Georgetown for 33 years, and spent 20 years of them as the General Manager. According to Wayne, "Georgetown is a wonderful community, and can almost be considered the Heaven of the North Shore." Wayne plans to take the summer off and do some yard work around the house.

David comes to Georgetown from Peabody Municipal Light Plant, where he was the Assistant Superintendent of Electrical Distribution since 2009. Before that he was at Taunton Municipal Light Plant for nine years and Hingham Municipal Light Plant for two years. 

David says,"as a resident of Georgetown, I am honored and excited to be the next General Manager of the Georgetown Municipal Light Department. Wayne Snow, Georgetown Light’s previous General Manager, has carefully spent the last 20 years building a tough and reliable system with a well-developed and motivated work force. I am in the enviable position to benefit from all of his hard work and for that I am very grateful. Going forward, I will follow Wayne’s example and continue to improve every facet of the organization so that we can provide the best service possible to our ratepayers."
