Monticello considers new economic development director

MONTICELLO – The Monticello City Council has asked a city committee to study whether to hire a new economic development director.

Monticello hasn't had an economic development director since Mary Jo Hetrick left in June 2006 to move to Escalon, Calif. Mrs. Hetrick later died on Sept. 27, 2007, a week after suffering a brain aneurism.
