Stephen Roberts has been named director of Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation (LUT), effective Sept. 23.
Roberts has been serving as the interim director since June, following the resignation of
Andrew Singelakis. Roberts has been with LUT since 2007, serving as a senior planner, communications coordinator, special projects coordinator and, most recently, assistant director.
The announcement was made on Sept. 24 by Robert Davis, Washington County Administrator.
“Stephen has done an outstanding job during his 12 years with Washington County, including the past several months as Interim Director of the department," said Davis. "He has successfully led several challenging transportation and land use planning projects and has established very positive relationships throughout the county. We are pleased to announce that Stephen will be our new Director and look forward to working with him.”
Roberts has master’s degrees in city and regional planning and architecture, and a bachelor’s degree in architecture, all from the University of Texas at Arlington. He is certified by the American Institute of Certified Planners.
Prior to joining Washington County, Roberts was a city planner for 10 years for the city of Richardson, Texas, a 100,000-population community north of Dallas.
