Rob Scala was unanimously voted to become the next treasurer of Downtown Enfield Restoration & Preservation and will be assuming the position in the new year. 

Prior to Rob’s retirement and moving to North Carolina, he was an IT professional with the Jersey City Police Department. Since arriving in Enfield in 2013, he has been involved in many community initiatives, including as a member of the town’s Board of Adjustment, DERP’s annual paddle, the November Oyster Roast, and the Christmas Homes Tour. 

(DERP is currently fundraising to repair the brick façade of a Railroad Street building by helping to build funds with the November 28 Oyster Roast being held at Scotfield Preserve in Enfield. Tickets to the 7th Annual Oyster Roast are $60. For tickets to the event or to become a sponsor, contact Lori Clay at 252-904-8447.

Rob will succeed Lori Clay, who has held the post of treasurer for DERP for nine years. In Lori’s professional life, she is the President and CEO of Halifax Mutual Insurance Company, where she has worked for 45 years.

“Rob will take over what Lori has so diligently achieved by spearheading fundraising,” DERP said.
