I appreciate the opportunity to lead the Lee County Economic Development Office (EDO). I look forward to the task ahead and hope to be able to meet as many of you in person as possible in the coming months.
As I get up-to-speed on the opportunities and challenges, one of my personal objectives is to improve the EDO's local engagement efforts by supporting the retention and expansion of existing employers to improve our economic vitality.
It is important to receive your feedback as to what we are doing well and what we need to improve. Without your input we cannot achieve the best outcomes for Lee County. Please stop by anytime and share your views with us.
