As Garland’s cityscape continues to expand with business and industry, there’s a new sheriff in town to ensure environmental regulations are followed to the letter. Effective last Monday, Amber Thompson has stepped up to the plate as the new Director of Environmental Compliance, a division split from the city’s Health Department to refocus efforts on the growing need for oversight in commercial and industrial sectors. It’s no small feat, considering the division’s ambitious agenda to promote proactive education, enforce regulations, and tackle any arising environmental complaints, according to the City of Garland.
