New Director of Public Works for Dryden

Dryden’s Director of Public Works is calling it a career.

Blake Poole is retiring and attended his final council meeting this week.

CAO Roger Nesbitt says his knowledge will be missed at the senior leadership table.

“He is the senior individual on the management team at this point, so you can imagine on a day-to-day basis he is the go-to individual for all the knowledge that is public works,” Nesbitt told councilors at Poole’s final council meeting.

“He is greatly appreciated in that capacity and many more.”

Todd Olson will be taking over at the Public Works Director.
