They say everything is bigger in Texas, and Mount Pearl Director of Planning, Engineering, and Development Gerry Antle will soon have a chance to find out whether that’s true.
Antle will be heading to Texas for the American Society of Civil Engineers’ 2023 Texas Civil Engineering Conference in San Marcos.
The conference will run from September 20 to 22.
Councillor Jim Locke brought forward the motion to send Antle to the show, which was seconded by councillor Bill Antle during last week’s public council meeting,
The costs associated with individual professional development trips are not made public, however monies for such trips are drawn from the $304,750 allocated for professional development in Budget 2023.
That budget also covers staff training and employee engagement.
The motion passed unanimously.
