Abilene’s Brad Anderson will be the city of Abilene’s Public Works Department director. Anderson was previously a Kansas Department of Transportation area superintendent. He began his new job Dec. 4. “I just want everyone to know that KDOT’s been good to me, and it was a great opportunity and all that,” Anderson said. “I am kind of excited to get involved with the city and glad to have the opportunity. Glad they thought a lot about me to give me the opportunity.” Anderson said the director position allows him to work closer to his community and home south of Abilene. His current position requires him to drive to Clay Center and around north central Kansas. “When the position became available, it was something I thought about, and ultimately decided I’d look into. I’m grateful that I’ve been given this opportunity and was chosen as the new public works director here in my hometown of Abilene.” Anderson said. “I feel I can continue to use my knowledge in leadership, job activities and contract projects that the city of Abilene has upcoming.” Anderson said he has worked for KDOT for 23 years total.
