The City of Crockett Council made a significant move during their recent meeting by approving an amendment to the articles of incorporation for the Crockett Economic and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDC). This change will increase the board of directors by adding six new members, a decision aimed at enhancing the corporation's governance and operational capacity.

Mayor and council members unanimously supported the resolution, which allows for the appointment of the mayor and all five city council members as the new directors. Their terms will run until July 16, 2024, marking this as an interim measure to bolster leadership within the CIDC.

The resolution also designates Dr. Anthea Fisher as the registered agent for the CIDC, with the registered office located at Crockett City Hall. This strategic expansion of the board is expected to facilitate more effective decision-making and oversight for the corporation's initiatives.

The council's decision reflects a proactive approach to economic development in Crockett, ensuring that the CIDC is well-equipped to tackle future challenges and opportunities. As the city moves forward, the impact of this expanded leadership will be closely monitored, with expectations for enhanced community engagement and development initiatives.
