Cottonwood City Manager Ron Corbin and new Economic Development Director Richard Faust say Cottonwood is “open for business.”
Last month, Casey Rooney announced his retirement after a decade of service. Faust, who originally served as the city’s community services general manager, has now taken Rooney’s place.
For Corbin, Faust was an easy choice.
“His commitment to the community was the first thing,” Corbin said. “A longtime Cottonwood resident with family here, he has run our parks and rec for years. He knows people in the community, which I think is important because one of our jobs in economic development is supporting current businesses.”
