MAEDC Hires New Interim Director

With the departure of Dick King, the Missoula Area Economic Development Corporation has hired a new interim executive director. He is Jim Beaton, who grew up in Missoula and graduated from the University of Montana. Jim was retired and living in Arizona when the opportunity to come back to Missoula became available. My complete interview with Mr. Beaton is attached.

Hear more about Jim Beaton on Friday's Montana Morning News from 6 to 8:30 AM on KGVO 1290 and KLYQ 1240.
