MARBLE FALLS — The Marble Falls Economic Development Corp. is still looking for an executive director after a finalist turned down the board's offer.
Following a closed-door session lasting more than two hours Aug. 3, the board appointed members Jane Marie Hurst, George "Butch" Kemper and Steve Reitz to "pursue options related to the selection of a new director," who could earn a salary of about $100,000.
"Our task is to continue negotiations with the (director) candidates and report back to the board," Kemper said. "I don't think it will take more than a couple of weeks."
Buda EDC Executive Director Wayne Ketteman and the Marble Falls/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce are still under consideration for the position, EDC president John Packer told The Tribune.
"They are both still on the table," said Packer, also a City Council member.
The board has made no decision whether to search for more candidates, Kemper said.
More than a week ago, Marble Falls offered the director position to Levelland EDC Executive Director Charles David “Dave” Quinn Jr.
