Following executive session, the EDC board voted to appoint Melinda Gomez as the EDC's executive director, with the appointment subject to legal review and the terms discussed in executive session.
After returning from executive session Wednesday evening, the River City EDC board voted to appoint Melinda Gomez as the EDC executive director, subject to final legal review of terms discussed during closed session.
