"Kyle needed to move back to Philadelphia for personal reasons," MWWPR CEO Michael Kempner told O'Dwyer's via a email. "He returned to his previous job at the Delaware River PA. We are currently interviewing for a new COS."
DRPA is the regional transportation agency responsible for the four bridges (Ben Franklin, Commodore Barry, Betsy Ross and Walt Whitman) that span the Delaware River between New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Anderson, who is corporate communications & community relations at DRPA, is a veteran of Democratic politics, servicing as press relations director for the 2016 National Convention Committee in Philadelphia and in various positions on Capitol Hill.
In joining MWWPR, he succeeded Gina Cherwin, who was upped to executive VP/chief people officer.
