Hamilton DPW Has Interim Leader

The Hamilton Department of Public Works has an interim director until the position is permanently filled, the Salem News reports.

David Hanlon is working part-time as the interim director. He is the former director of the North Reading Department of Public Works.

He takes over for John Tomasz, who has become the new director at the Salem Department of Public Works.

Hanlon was scheduled to be introduced to the Board of Selectmen on Monday night but had a scheduling conflict.

The deadline to apply for the director position was last Friday, according to a job ad on the Massachusetts Municipal Association website. Lombardo told the Salem News that about 24 candidates applied and that the field will be narrowed down over the next few weeks.
