The Idaho Transportation Department has named Jason B. Minzghor as the new District 6 Engineer, headquartered in Rigby. Minzghor will assume leadership March 21.

Minzghor has been the District 1 operations manager in Coeur D’Alene since 2013 and succeeds Kimbol Allen in the Rigby post.

He was born in Calgary, Canada and raised in Coeur D’Alene. He and his wife, Amy, are the parents of eight children.

Minzghor,41, will supervise 138 employees in Bonneville, Butte, Clark, Custer, Fremont, Jefferson, Lemhi, Madison and Teton counties. The state highway system in eastern Idaho includes more than 2,300 lane miles and 350 bridges.
