Washington County Engineer Jacob Thorius was installed as South-Central Region vice president of the National Association of County Engineers (NACE) at their recent annual meeting and technical conference. Thorius’ term will run through April 2022.
NACE is a nonprofit, nonpartisan professional association in its 62nd year, representing more than 2,400 county road officials and related professionals in the U.S. and Canada.
In the U.S., local roads account for about 75% of highways and roads, or 2.93 million miles.
Counties manage 1.74 million miles of those roads. Counties also own 231,000 bridges and operate one-third of the nation’s transit systems.
“It is an honor and privilege to serve the nation’s county road professionals for this term,” Thorius said. “I am humbled by the faith my fellow engineers have placed in me and look forward to joining the nation’s county road professionals to ensure our national transportation network remains strong, safe and secure.
“As we emerge from the current health crisis, infrastructure will be a key part of our economic recovery.”
Thorius has served as Washington County engineer since January of 2012.
