A familiar face heads the Chandler Economic Development Corporation again after a brief hiatus.
An agenda item to return Jim Moffeit as Executive Director won unanimous approval from the City Council Tuesday.
âThe EDC board met last week and approved a personal services contract with Jim,â City Administrator John Whitsell said, before the council vote.
No one was surprised that Moffeitâs retirement wasnât permanent, he said.
The council voted to bring Moffeit back at a time when several economic projects are underway in the city in far eastern Henderson County.
The city of Chandler began operating under a Council/Administrator form of government in 2004. Moffeit accepted the administrator position in 2005 and held it until he retired from the city in 2013. During that time, he was also on the Chandler Economic Development Board.
