“With the recent increase in residential and commercial development along the US 75 corridor just south of Howe and with increased interest in development we are experiencing in the city and the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, city staff and the council believe that time has come of having an employee dedicated to economic development for the City of Howe.  Monte Walker was was offered the position of director and has accepted.  Walker will assume the duties starting October, 2014.” – Joe Shephard, City Administrator

This will have no effect on the publication of The Howe Enterprise, as Walker will remain owner/editor.
