<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to inform you of a few staffing changes in MaineDOT’s Bureau of Planning. We have recently had the pleasure of bringing on two new planners, who will be supporting a variety of efforts across the state:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Michael Hori</b> will be serving as the Regional Planner for MaineDOT Regions 2 (midcoast) & 3 (western). In this capacity, he will also serve as the point of contact for MaineDOT’s contracts with AVCOG, KVCOG, LCRPC, and MCOG.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Kathryn Grond </b>will be serving as a Statewide Planner, supporting planning studies, policy implementation, and discretionary funding applications statewide through data- and research-driven review, modeling, and analysis.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As part of this reorganization, <b>Matthew Drost </b>will transition to serving exclusively as the Region 1 Planner (southern). Please note that some ongoing projects will continue to be handled by the current MaineDOT project managers.
If a change of project managers for a current project is planned, Bureau of Planning staff will inform you and work with you to manage the handover.
<o:p></o:p></p>
