From the Yakima Herald:

Longtime New Vision president Dave McFadden is resigning to become the Port of Seattle’s new economic development director.

During his time at New Vision, McFadden is credited with helping recruit 13 companies to the Yakima Valley that employ nearly 2,000 people, including Amtech, a manufacturing company in Wapato, and more recently, Bale Breaker Brewing Co. in Moxee.

As the Port of Seattle’s economic development director, he’ll be responsible for recruiting and retaining businesses, especially in aviation, manufacturing and maritime operations.
