Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson has named a manager to oversee the newly-created Office of Environmental Services, which she created earlier this year to focus on air quality and sustainability.
Michael Shea, currently a senior policy associate with the clean-air advocacy group HEAL Utah, was chosen to fill the role, in which he will “evaluate current environmental programs, develop and implement future programs and recommend new policies and initiatives,” Wilson said in a news release.
“Michael will also coordinate with county agencies and regional partners, bring stakeholders together to maximize impact and develop programs that encourage constituents to follow sustainability best practices,” she said.
