Carley Hauk has been named the next executive director of the Hancock Economic Development Council, marking a change in leadership for the Hancock County economic development organization.

Leadership change

Hauk will become the council’s next executive director. The announcement identifies her as the person selected for the position, but it does not state when the transition will take place.

The executive director role will place Hauk in charge of leading the council. The announcement does not outline her responsibilities, describe the selection process or identify other people considered for the position.

Economic development work

The Hancock Economic Development Council is the organization involved in the leadership change. The announcement connects Hauk’s appointment to the council’s work in Hancock County, including its role in economic development.

Housing and development are issues tied to the broader economic development conversation in the county. No specific housing project, development plan or policy position was announced with Hauk’s appointment.

What comes next

The next steps are the start date for Hauk’s leadership and any plans the council shares for the transition. The council also may outline its priorities under the new executive director, including how it will approach development and housing issues.
