Janesville seeks economic development director
The city of Janesville is working to fill another high profile position.
Doug Venable, the city’s economic development director, plans to retire at the end of the year.
Venable said Monday that he likely will leave his office for good in either November or December, depending upon how much vacation time he has to use by the end of the year.
Venable joined the city staff in November 1987, four years after moving from the La Crosse area to Rock County to become the county’s economic development agent.

Suggest removal
Venable deserves praise. During his tenure the city diversified its manufacturing base and compensated for the drawdown of GM jobs, putting us in a much stronger position when the plant finally (?) closed. Thanks, and good luck.
