Economic Development Officer, Jessie Kimber - City of Colorado Springs
The City of Colorado Springs experienced more "wins" in the economic development realm in 2023, than in the previous three years combined.
Recent successes in recruitment of key industry participants such as Entegris, Invictus, Microchip Technology, Meyer Burger Solar, and more are part of a new, engaging spirit of collaboration in the region among key stakeholders who want to keep the opportunities coming for those who live, work and play in the region and those following these great employers.
Former Naval Commander, Jessica (Jessie) Kimber is one of those key stakeholders working in partnership with the elected officials and governing bodies, utilities, land developers, educators, private industry, and a very proactive Economic Development Corporation to continue to grow the region, "smartly" and an ecosystem of industry participants that has put COS on the short list of industry leaders around the nation - the world.
Listen in while Jessie unpacks the first year of her tenure as the City's Economic Development Officer and how things are shaping up for the months and year to come.
