Don Hunt to head CDOT

Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper has announced that Don Hunt will be Executive Director of the Department of Transportation.

Hunt is now the President of Denver-based Antero, where he specializes in project development and management. While at Antero, Hunt was appointed by Hickenlooper to work as Denver Bond Implementation Manager and oversaw the $550 million infrastructure program.

“Donald Hunt has the depth and breadth of experience to tackle the wide variety of transportation issues facing Colorado,” Hickenlooper said. “Colorado’s transportation needs are as varied as its scenery. Don is one of the country’s finest transportation thinkers and he knows how to bring projects in on time and under budget.”
