The Hutto Economic Development Corp. announced the hiring of Joey Grisham as its new president and CEO on April 24.
Grisham will take over May 28 for former Executive Director Scott Martinez, who left at the beginning of the year.
Grisham most recently worked as director of Lake Grandbury's EDC and has also served in Keller, Texas, and in Tupelo and Marion County in Mississippi. He has also worked on economic development projects in Alabma, Arizona, Indiana, Tennessee, Wisconsin and throughout Texas as an independent consultant, a Hutto EDC news release said.
"I am honored to accept this position and appreciate the EDC for providing me with this wonderful opportunity—my family and I are elated to become a part of the Hutto family and Hippo Nation," Grisham said in the release. "My first objective is to meet all community stakeholders and local businesses and fully understand what we have to offer. What attracted me to Hutto was community leadership, family environment and proximity to one of the hottest markets in America."
