The Kewaunee County Economic Development Corporation announced Ben Nelson's hiring as the next Executive Director of the organization. Nelson has owned two private businesses, including Radix Leadership in Kewaunee, and was the Door County Parks Superintendent in 2018. KCEDC Board Chair Amber Hewett says Nelson's experience was a key decision in the hiring process.
Nelson shares the most exciting part of taking over the KCEDC's leadership role.
Nelson started his new position on Monday and will be taking over from Hewett, who has served as the KCEDC's Interim Executive Director since October of 2020.
