Two longtime members of the New York Mills Economic Development Authority have stepped aside from their post.
During its regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday morning, longtime members Dave Rud and Ken Hendrickx have stepped down from their position on the NY Mills EDA board. While the term for Hendrickx’s position ended, Rud also said he would be willing to step down if someone new was interested in being a part of the NY Mills EDA. Rud had been one of the founding members of the local economic development authority.
Bonnie Dykhoff and Betsy Roder both expressed an interest in being a part of the NY Mills EDA and were appointed. Roder was appointed to the remaining term of Rud’s position, while Dykhoff will take over the seat held by Hendrickx.
Members of the NY Mills EDA thanked both Rud and Hendrickx for their contributions to the NY Mills EDA over the years.
