Tim Mayle, director of Findlay-Hancock County Economic Development, has been selected as the new president of the Ohio Economic Development Association (OEDA).

Mayle says the OEDA is an organization that focuses on workforce development for people in the economic development profession and gives them an opportunity to get together and talk about policy.

Certain policies they focus on are infrastructure development, workforce development, tax structure, energy and support for existing businesses.

“All different types of programs that continue to make our communities competitive as we’re looking at businesses, and just like any trade organization we want to learn from each other and make everybody better.”

He says being president of the OEDA is a good opportunity for the Findlay-Hancock County Economic Development office.

Mayle’s term as president runs through 2022.

He previously was on the board and also served as vice president last year.
