Sheldon, IA (KICD)– After nearly a year of searching the City of Sheldon officially has new Executive Director of the local Chamber of Commerce and Community Development Corporation.

Tania Herrera Gonzales comes from the Omaha area where she has served in multiple capacities in recent years.

Outgoing Community Development Director Mark Brown went before the City Council Wednesday prior to the hiring with nothing but good things to say about his initial interactions with Herrera Gonzales.

 

Herrera Gonzales takes over the role that has been open in full time capacity since last June when Curt Strouth was named the CEO of the Iowa Lakes Corridor Development Corporation based in Spencer. She will take over her new duties later this month.
