“I am looking forward to serving the City of Sterling Heights as Public Works Director,” Moore said. “Our department’s influence in the city is great, and we will continue to uphold the high standards our citizens have come to expect. I work with an incredible group of highly skilled individuals, and I will continue to provide a safe and positive work environment for our staff.”

As Public Works Director, Moore will oversee the office of Engineering as well as five divisions in the Public Works Department: Fleet Maintenance, Water Distribution, Sewer Collection, Street Services and Parks and Grounds Maintenance. He will also oversee the refuse collection contract and the noxious weed program. Moore, who is a graduate of Stevenson High School, has lived in Sterling Heights nearly his entire life. He currently lives in the city with his wife and daughter.
