Commissioners authorize job description for economic development position
The Leavenworth Times
Leavenworth County commissioners have asked the county administrator to prepare a job description for a new position that will oversee economic development activity.
Commissioners have discussed creating an economic development director position for the county government. However, commissioners have not settled on an exact title for the job.
Commissioners plan to use money collected through a property tax mill levy designated for economic development to pay for the new position. In the past, money collected through this mill levy has been used to provide funding to the Leavenworth County Port Authority and Leavenworth County Development Corporation.
