Lima development official accepts Butler County job

6/29/2002

LIMA, Ohio — After three months as interim director of Downtown Lima, Inc., Kenny Craig said he is leaving to take a new position.

Mr. Craig has been hired as president and chief executive officer of the Greater Hamilton Chamber of Commerce in Butler County. He begins the job on Monday.

Mr. Craig was hired in March by the downtown development agency to replace Jay Smith, who resigned over philosophical differences with the organization's board. The board helps oversee downtown development and projects in this blue-collar city of 45,000 people about 90 miles south of Toledo.
