Woodstock Town Selectboard member Greg Fullerton has been hired as the new public works director for the municipality.
Municipal manager Eric Duffy announced the selection of Fullerton as the town’s new public works leader at the outset of a special selectboard meeting on Monday afternoon. Fullerton will replace former director Chris Barr, who succumbed to a brief, hard-fought battle with cancer in July.
“Everyone knows we’ve been without a public works director since Chris Barr unfortunately passed away this summer,” Duffy told selectboard members Monday, with Fullerton seated in his customary spot at the selectboard table. “We were very cautious about who we were going to choose to fulfill that role,” Duffy added. “I’m very happy to announce that Greg Fullerton is going to start as the new public works director, ideally [on] November 1 [or] around that time period. He has agreed to come on board as our next employee — the employment contract is signed, and we’re excited to welcome Greg to the other side of the table going forward.”
