The 12 county Mid-Missouri economic development organization Missouri CORE has a new executive director.
Missouri native Gary Laffoon has filled the vacancy created when CORE's first executive director, Mike Downing, left in October to return to the Missouri Department of Economic Development.
CORE was founded in February of 2008 as a not for profit that represents the 12 counties of Audrain, Boone, Callaway, Camden, Cole, Cooper, Howard, Miller, Moniteau, Morgan, Osage and Randolph.
Lake of the Ozarks Regional Economic Development Council(LOREDC) a member of CORE partners with CORE to facilitate the attraction of new business, promote major projects that have a regional impact, and assist communities in the expansion of existing and start up businesses.
LOREDC President Brian Meisel says CORE is beneficial to the Lake of the Ozarks because it gives LOREDC the opportunity to plug into additional resources outside our area and be part of a larger regional group that helps promote the qualities of our region.
