CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – The Economic Development Council board this week fumbled the process of hiring a new CEO, causing some concern among board members about a reversal vote, with one calling it “borderline unethical.”
On Monday morning, April 12, the Clarksville-Montgomery County Economic Development Council – the umbrella agency that oversees industrial development, tourism and related economic promotion activity – took a vote between two CEO candidates, referred to as Candidate A and Candidate B. Their identities have not been disclosed.
While board members seem agreed that both are good candidates, there were definite preferences, with Candidate A touted as “professionally trained and highly engaged with economic development associations” who would be new to the area, and the other, Candidate B, someone who already has “established relationships within the local community,” is retired military and is familiar with the local economic environment.
