Ward 1 Community Forum: Meet the New Public Works Director

Join us on Thursday, October 6, 6:30 - 8 p.m., at the Eastside Co-op Community Room, 2551 Central Avenue NE, to meet Robin Hutcheson, the City of Minneapolis' new Public Works Director.

Robin Hutcheson was appointed Public Works Director in June, assuming the position held for the past ten years by Steve Kotke. She was previously the Transportation Division Director in Salt Lake City and oversaw the installation of that City's first streetcar. She was also involved in a significant expansion of their 'complete streets' policy.

Public Works is Minneapolis' largest and most complicated department, with over 1,100 employees and an annual operating budget of $428 million. The department has a far-reaching impact on everyone who lives and works in the city, from the streets that move people from one place to another, to the safe drinking water we rely on, our outstanding solid waste and recycling collection and much more. Join us on October 6 to meet the new director and learn more about the department she's leading.
