Mark Griffith, Allen County’s new road and bridge director, stresses safety. He believes it’s important to listen to citizens about the problems they encounter on county roads. There’s a good reason why people care so much about county roads and bridges, according to Mark Griffith. “That’s what they travel on every day. That’s what they take their kids to school on,” he said. “Their homes may be their sanctuaries, but they spend a lot of time in their vehicles. They need to feel comfortable when traveling on our roads and bridges.” Griffith is the county’s new road and bridge director, and also will oversee the county’s rock quarry. He serves under Public Works Director Mitch Garner.
