The County Road Association (CRA) of Michigan honored former Baraga County Road Commission (BCRC) commissioner Roy Koski with a Distinguished Service Award at CRA’s 2020 Highway Conference. Distinguished Service Awards recognize road agency staff and commissioners who have dedicated time and service in an outstanding manner to advance the county road and bridge system in Michigan.
Koski served with distinction and honor on the Baraga County Road Commission board from 1984 until his retirement in December 2019, making him the second longest-serving road commissioner in Michigan history.
Koski is an active member of the Great Lakes Council of 11 county road commissions; has served on various committees with the Upper Peninsula Road Builders Association; and volunteered as an alternate for Baraga’s engineer/manager on many committees.
“We at the County Road Association appreciate Roy, and many more commissioners like him, who devote hundreds of hours of service to improve road systems and road commissions, and building relationships with their road partners,” said Denise Donohue, CRA director.
