EPHRATA – Grant PUD Commissioners announced the appointment of former Chief Financial Officer Kevin Nordt as the new general manager during their last meeting.
Nordt joined Grant PUD in 2004 and brings more than 25 years of experience to the position. His appointment will be effective June 3.
The appointment follows a succession plan submitted by former General Manager Tony Webb in January. Webb will continue with the utility in a senior leadership capacity and assist with the transition over the coming months.
“The utility is in a strong position today and, with Kevin in the GM role, we are going to grow even stronger,” Commission President Tom Flint said. “Our current position reinforces that the timing is right for the utility to transition to a new leader. We have accomplished incredible things in the past few years under Tony’s outstanding leadership, and I am confident that Kevin will continue to build on that momentum.”
