Friday, August 2nd, 2013 -- 9:26 AM
-Clark County has a new CNRED Agent.Melissa Kono, a South Dakota native, went to school at UW-MN and has a Master?s Degree in Economics. She currently lives in Independence and has lived here in Wisconsin for the past 6 years.
Melissa helped clear up the mystery on what a CNRED Agent does.
"It's an interesting acronym. It stands for Community, Natural Resources and Economic Development. And those can be interrelated and they can be very separate things as well."
Melissa may have only been the CNRED Agent for 3 weeks now, but she already has several projects she?d like to complete.
"I'm taking a survey and getting the 'lay of the land.' There was a needs assessment conducted for this position that did an excellent job of defining what the community felt were their needs and I'll certainly use that."
Melissa has really enjoyed meeting many wonderful people here in Clark County and she?s looking forward to making Clark County an even better place to live and work.
