Civil engineering alum J-D King, who earned his bachelor’s degree from Iowa State in 1984, marked his first day on the job as Page County’s engineer. He served as the county engineer of Fayette County for the last 10 years and also served as engineer in Des Moines and Ringgold counties.
King said he liked working in southwest Iowa from his previous time there, adding that the area has great opportunities. He said he’ll spend the first few weeks of his job assessing the county’s road conditions.
