WRIGHTSTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — Meeting in special session this week, the Wrightstown Township Board of Supervisors voted to accept the resignation of its township manager and to appoint an interim manager while the township searches for a replacement.

Former Warminster Township manager Gregg Schuster will step into the interim role in early August when current manager Stacey Mulholland steps down to manage Plumstead Township with a population of 14,000.

In July, Mulholland was appointed unanimously by the Plumstead Township Board of Supervisors to manage her home township where she had previously served as a township supervisor for 14 years. She will start her new job in early August replacing Angela Benner who was hired in June as the manager in Warrington.
