INDIANA, Pa. — Brian N. Allen, P.E., has been appointed the District Executive for the western region of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).

As District Executive, Allen is responsible for overseeing all functions in PennDOT District 10, which serves Armstrong, Butler, Clarion, Indiana and Jefferson Counties.

Allen, a Penn State University graduate, has been with PennDOT’s District 10 for 28 years, where he has held various positions. He most recently served as Assistant District Executive for Maintenance and previously, Assistant District Executive for Design.

Allen currently resides in Brush Valley with his wife, Julie. He has two sons, one an engineer and the other a student at Penn State University.
