The mayor of Gahanna wants to add a new position that would help Gahanna clearly and professionally market the city for business development, ThisWeek Community News reports. A director of marketing and communication would “help us be succinct in our marketing and messaging,” Mayor Tom Kneeland said. Kneeland told Gahanna council members “that he proposes the part-time position so the city could be marketed professionally as it proceeds with its economic-development plan and strategic plan.” The director would lead “strategic communication, marketing and messaging for the city to positively affect business development, job creation and revenue growth,” according to the article. The position would be funded “by transferring the funding budgeted previously for the director of emergency management,” a position Kneeland won’t use; instead, the functions of that position will be shared between the department of public safety and the mayor’s office.
