Lincoln County EDC adds two new directors to board

The Lincoln County Economic Development Council held their annual membership meeting last Thursday at the Red Rooster Restaurant in Reardan. The order of business at the annual meeting is the election of members to the Board of Directors and two positions were available.

Existing board members Doug Plinski (president), Staci Moses (vice president), Steve Aubuchon (secretary), Rex Harder (treasurer), Ron Groff, Scott Hutsell, and Dale Swant elected two new members to the board, Jamie Manchester and John Nelson.

Manchester lives in the Seven Bays area, is a fourth generation resident of Lincoln County and is employed by the Sprague and Lamont School Districts as a librarian. Nelson, a business planner for WSU Extension in Spokane, has lived and farmed in the Reardan area for 32 years, owns property in both Reardan and Davenport and is active in the Reardan Lions Club. Both expressed a desire to see the county’s economy grow and thrive and will begin to work toward that goal when the board meets for its next monthly meeting July 26.

The Lincoln County Economic Development Council is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Its key function is to coordinate and implement economic development for the region. The EDC is funded partially by grants and partially by membership dues from businesses, municipalities, individuals and organizations that recognize the importance of being proactive about Lincoln County’s economic future.
