A new set of officers has been elected for the Highway 36A Coalition board of directors for 2022, including new Chair Robert Pechukas.

The officers were announced via a Feb. 23 press release. Pechukas serves as the director of policy and administration for Andy Meyers, commissioner for Precinct 3 in Fort Bend County. Donna Adams, vice president and regional business development director at Atkins Engineering, will serve as Pechukas’ vice chair.

The Highway 36A Coalition serves to develop regional transportation infrastructure from the Brazosport area to Hempstead and beyond, according to its website.

The other board members consist of Shane Pirtle, Vern Hegwood, Jim Russ, Jeff Wiley, Matt Hanks and Kendric Jones.

“We are excited to see our vision for a 36A corridor moving forward. Our proposed corridor will help serve the needs of our fast-growing region, such as the efficient movement of people and goods, including to and from Port Freeport,” Pechukas said in the press release.
