Stoner has served approximately 20 years as a member of the Clinton staff, most recently as its plant manager. He began his career as a union maintenance technician.

“I look forward to ensuring that Clinton continues to be a strong economic engine for the community, while remaining one of the highest performing plants in our industry,” Stoner said. “I also intend to keep building relationships with our neighbors and local officials in DeWitt County.”

As the site’s vice president, Stoner will oversee operations of the plant to make sure that it is meeting safety and reliability standards.
