ENFIELD, CT — The longtime town attorney who served as interim town manager on two occasions has been appointed to the full-time town manager's position.

Christopher W. Bromson was announced as Enfield's new town manager, effective immediately, by Mayor Michael Ludwick. He was appointed by unanimous vote of the Town Council. "The council is thrilled that Chris said 'yes.' Chris is an entirely known factor," Ludwick said. "He's served this town with distinction and success in several capacities for nearly 30 years. He's been an exceptional town attorney, public safety director and acting town manager. No one can compete with Chris in either his base of municipal knowledge and experience or his innate people skills. If the last three months is any indication of where we're headed, Enfield has some great things in store."

Bromson is looking forward to this new opportunity. "It's been great," he said of the last three months as acting town manager. "I've gotten to know the dedicated employees and wonderful residents of the town a little better. While I've loved serving as town attorney and director of public safety, both of those positions enhanced my ability to be an effective acting town manager, and ultimately readied me for this exciting challenge as town manager. It absolutely feels like the next right thing and I'm eager to continue my work with the council, staff, and residents."

Bromson was appointed town attorney in the fall of 1989, and has served in that capacity since that time, with the exception of a break from 2008 to 2016, during which he was director of public safety. He also served as acting town manager in 2005-06, and most recently since May 29, 2018. Bromson holds a Bachelor's degree in political science from Boston University and a law degree from Western New England College. He is a member of the Connecticut state and federal bars.
