ALTRAN names new executive director

MUNISING — The Alger County Transit Authority has hired a new executive director. Jennifer Heyrman-Barney will start on Monday.

Heyrman-Barney replaces Rochelle Cotey, who is charged with multiple counts of embezzlement. Cotey was put on paid administrative leave in October and arrested in December for allegedly embezzling funds from multiple organizations, including ALTRAN.

An open house to meet ALTRAN’s new executive director will be held in the near future.
