Filling Empty Economic Development Positions

The Windsor Essex Economic Development Corporation will be filling some empty positions within the next couple of months.

Recruitment and interviews are underway to fill the position of Director of Business Attraction and the Business Attraction Specialist.

Interim CEO Rakesh Naidu says they've narrowed down the director position to two local candidates.
