County hires director of development services

The County announced today that Peter Moyer, has been hired as the municipality’s Director of Development Services.

The 2012 corporate realignment resulted in the creation of a Development Services group to offer an integrated “one-window” department to assist developers and builders investing in the County.  One of his first tasks will be to implement the completion of a service delivery review of the County’s development approval processes.

Mayor Robert Quaiff said “with Peter’s arrival, we are ready to move forward with our commitment to meet with developers and builders to explore ways to improve service delivery. Ultimately, our objective is to encourage growth and development in a way that meets the growing and changing needs of the community. I am pleased to see this important initiative moving forward.”

A statment from the County says Moyer is returning to his roots in southern Ontario from his most recent role as Director of Infrastructure and Development for the Municipality of Sioux Lookout.

His areas of experience include development, engineering, planning, building, public works, facilities management and information technology. The statement notes he is expected to apply a customer service perspective and a long-term strategic approach to the development process.

“I am excited to join the team of dedicated professionals here in Prince Edward County and I look forward to working collaboratively to achieve the goals and objectives established by council,” said Moyer. “While I expect there will be challenges, there are also opportunities to further secure and grow Prince Edward County as a world-class home and destination. My family and I look forward to establishing ourselves in the community and learning about The County’s history and culture.”
