Gray leaves transit authority, will remain active in community
After more than 20 years, Joe Gray has stepped down from his role with the Butler Transit Authority. The local engineer isn’t going anywhere, however. He will remain on as the city engineer.
“As a business person, I think it’s good to be involved in the community,” Gray said. “I think it’s good business, and it’s a positive thing you can do as part of your business.”
Outside of a few years he spent living in Youngstown, Ohio, attending Youngstown State University (graduating in 1989), Gray has spent his entire life in Butler County. He has lived mainly in South Butler.
And he still does a lot in the area. In addition to recently leaving the transit authority and being city engineer, he has been on Butler’s Building Code Appeals Board for about 10 years and the Butler Township Zoning Hearing Board.
“Working with the community is a positive activity that you can make with your business,” Gray said. “And it’s good business, contributing to the community and making it better and your surroundings.”
Gray owns several businesses in the area, the most notable being DCM Butler. He describes DCM — which stands for Design, Construct and Manage — as the “nucleus” of all his businesses.
