Fred Ostler settles in as new Troutdale public works director

FRED OSTLER

Coming from the desert of Green River, Wyo., Troutdale's brand new public works director sought a job in an area with lusher greenery.

Fred Ostler, who took the position on Nov. 14, found that with plenty of trees visible from his new corner second-story office in Troutdale's public works building at 342 S.W. Fourth St. Ostler left his job as general manager and CEO of the Joint Powers Water Board, which serves the Wyoming cities of Rock Springs and Green River, to work for Troutdale.
