Dean Grant brings 20 years of experience in the water and wastewater industry to his new position as public works director water/wastewater for the City of Bowie.
Grant replaces Ramon Johnson who left the position about three months ago to take a job closer to his family in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
The 39-year-old Grant and his wife, Christy, move to Bowie from Liberty Hill, located outside Georgetown in south Texas.
The couple has a son, Chandler who graduated high school and will be attending college; a daughter, Bailey, who will be a junior at Bowie High School; and daughter Ainsley who will be in eighth grade.
His most recent job was with Pumps of Houston where he worked in sales to utilities. Grant said while he liked the sales work for the past year and a half, he began to miss working in the field and plants.

Admission is $5 and there will be a bake sale to raise funds for travel and other OAP expenses. The show is directed by Linda Fitzner.
The group will travel to Austin to perform on May 13 for the state title. This is the school’s first time to take a play to the state contest.
