District 1 Engineer Scott Stokes named new
Deputy Director
I
am very pleased to announce that Scott Stokes
has accepted the position of Deputy Director,
effective Monday, February 26.
Scott’s experience, insight and energy
will complement our other outstanding executive
team members and will be a tremendous asset
as we tackle today’s transportation
challenges. As District 1 Engineer since
1996, Scott has seen a decade of rapid growth
in the Coeur d’Alene area. He understands
the demands that growth brings and will
play a key role in helping the Division
of Highways and the Department respond to
those demands.
Please join me in welcoming Scott as Deputy
Director and assist him as he makes the
transition to his new role.
