Souderton-Telford Main Street Manager Pam Coleman says her hours have been cut back from full-time to part-time starting this week. She says the board of directors had to do it because the money to pay her for full-time work is not in the budget, but Main Street programs will continue.

“We will be relying more and more on the volunteers, who are already doing a terrific job, and they’ll be picking up a lot of the things that I do.  I’ll be here two days a week until I find something full-time.”

Coleman says she will stay around for a while as a part-time manager, but she does not think she knows how to work part-time for any long period of time.  She has been the full-time Main Street Manager for seven years, and prior to taking the Souderton-Telford job she held a similar position in Quakertown.
