One week into his new position as the Door County Economic Development executive director, Steve Jenkins is reaching out to the business community with eyes towards the future.  Jenkins says Door County has a strong business base with a nice mix of manufacturing and tourism opportunities.  He believes a great potential lies in attracting young entrepreneurs to help build business development in the area.

Jenkins, who has 45 years of experience in economic development, was named the new director of the DCEDC in February, replacing Jim Schuessler, who left to take a position at Yuma Multiversity in Arizona.
