VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) - Warren County port officials are looking to hire a new port director by the end of the month.
Port commission President Margaret Gilmer tells the Vicksburg Post (https://bit.ly/2klkDXd) that the agency will soon interview five of six candidates recommended by Jorgenson Consulting. The goal is to narrow the list down to two candidates by Feb. 16.
Gilmer says the group includes one candidate from North Mississippi. The others are from across the country and include two women.
The commissioners began their search for a new port director after Wayne Mansfield, who served as port director for the Port of Vicksburg for nine years, resigned in July. Gilmer says the new director’s duties will be more focused on economic development.
