HART — The City of Hart announced the promotion of Lindsay Brown to the position of economic and community development coordinator, filling a role that has been vacant since City Manager Nichole Kleiner previously served in the position before returning to lead the city.
“Brown previously served the city as utility billing clerk and deputy clerk and will continue managing utility billing operations while taking on expanded responsibilities supporting Hart’s economic and community development efforts,” states a press release from the city.
“In her new role, Brown will assist with business retention and expansion efforts, community event coordination, marketing initiatives, administration of the Hart Economic and Redevelopment Team (HEART) board, and grant research and administration.
“Brown has already played a key role in organizing and growing several of Hart’s signature events, including Hart Sparks, Music on the Commons, Winterfest, ArtWalk, and the Thrift Crawl, helping strengthen community engagement and downtown activity,” the press release states.
“Lindsay has demonstrated a strong commitment to the City of Hart and our community,” said Kleiner. “She has already made a meaningful impact through her work supporting our events, businesses, and residents. I am confident she will use this opportunity to continue learning and growing into a future director-level position.”
“Outside of work, Brown remains active in both her professional and community roles,” states the press release. “She enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, and exploring new destinations. During the summer months, she can often be found at the beach or on the golf course.”
