The Arkansas Highway Commission today selected Scott Bennett, the Highway and Transportation Department’s assistant chief engineer, to succeed retiring director Dan Flowers.
Flowers, who had to retire before his 65th birthday in December, will make his retirement official Sept. 21, though he’ll quit working a month earlier and take accumulated leave time. You might recall we reported during the legislative session that a special act was passed to protect Flowers’ retirement benefits, in the range of $195,000 a year.
