Public Lighting Authority hires executive director | Crain's Detroit Business:
"The Public Lighting Authority has named Beau Taylor as its new executive director as the organization works to transition to more of a management role after installing tens of thousands of streetlights across Detroit.
Taylor, 42, is taking over for PLA CEO Nicolette Carlone, who did not seek reappointment after her contract ended Aug. 1, PLA spokesman Dan Austin said.
The job change is effective immediately.
The PLA is ramping down operations after it finished installing 65,000 new streetlights in Detroit in December as part of a three-year, $185 million program.
With the project complete, the PLA is shifting from a focus on construction to lighting maintenance, Austin said. It has downsized staff from 34 to 13.
As executive director, Taylor's salary will be $150,000 per year, while Carlone had made $250,000, Austin said. Taylor's contract is for three years..."
