Summary

BEDC staff said the corporation retooled a vacant business-attraction role into a business and community development position and announced Dr. Jill Strube will start March 5, coming from the City of Smithville.

Sylvia Carrillo, BEDC staff, told the board that the agency reworked a vacant manager role for business attraction, retention and expansion into a new business and community development position to better reflect workforce, housing and retention needs. "And I'm happy to report that doctor Jill Strube will be joining us on March 5," Carrillo said.

Carrillo said Strube is leaving the City of Smithville to come to Bastrop and noted she had been "very instrumental in obtaining the workforce grant" Smithville used; Carrillo framed hiring Strube as a way to keep momentum on workforce and related programs. The transcript did not provide Strube's exact new title beyond the department change, nor did it include a direct statement from Strube.
