(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission did not have to go far in its search for a new county economic development director.
Following an executive session Monday, the Commission voted to hire Leah Johnson to fill the full-time position, effective immediately.
Johnson has been serving as interim director since the resignation of Adrienne Korson last month, and as part-time administrative assistant since April of last year.
Johnson will be paid a salary of $3,416 per month, plus benefits, for a period of 90 days. Upon completion of the probationary period, her annual salary will increase to $43,000.
Korson resigned effective March 13th to take a job with the Greater Wichita Partnership as an economic development specialist.
