Clayton’s Downtown Development Association has a new chairperson. Ed Knight, who has served on the DDA since 2004, was elected Monday night to succeed outgoing chair, Joyce Blackley. Mr. Knight is a retired telecommunications executive and, with his wife Veda, has lived in Clayton for 8 years.
Mr. Knight said he is looking forward to the challenge of leading the DDA. He said, “The past few years have been very active and Mrs. Blackley set a particularly high bar. We have a good board with some new members bringing new perspectives to the mix.” He added, “The committees, business and property owners will be busy, but I am very excited and optimistic about the future of downtown Clayton.”
The DDA also re-elected Jeme Avent, VP-Design; Leslie Hubbard, VP-Economic Restructuring; Betsy Grannis, VP-Organization and Lyn Austin, VP-Promotion. Beth Williams will remain Secretary until the January meeting when a new Secretary will be selected.
The Town Council on December 1st appointed several new members to the DDA, Richard Rairigh, Michael Sims and Boo Carver will begin their terms January 1, 2009.
