PORTAGE – The Portage Economic Development Corp. has named Jim Fitzer its interim executive director. He recently retired from NIPSCO as manager of public affairs after 38 years with the utility.
“Bringing in Mr. Fitzer is an opportunity for the new mayor and his leadership team to gain critical knowledge and insight about PEDCO, its partner organizations and the work being done to create jobs and capital investment in Portage,” said Diane Thalman, board chair of PEDCO.
Fitzer is responsible for day-to-day operations, economic development and representing PEDCO at regional meetings.
