MODL Searching For Economic Development Officer

The mayor of the Municipality of Lunenburg says its a position he hopes will help drive the local economy. A senior economic development officer position was approved in the municipality's budget last week. The role is being funded at $100,000 a year for two years through a grant from the province. Mayor Don Downe says they're looking for someone with a proven track record.



Downe says the provincial government agreed to help the municipality following the shutdown of the Oakhill Sawmill,  resulting in the loss of about 1,000 jobs indirectly. He adds, the province has provided the funding and expects someone to be hired in the next few months.
