Tammy Westergard leaving business development office for library position
Submitted by admin on Tue, 05/04/2010 - 8:16amTammy Westergard is leaving her job as deputy director of the Carson City Office of Business Development to take a similar position at the Carson City Library.
The rumor has been floating around for a while, and Tammy confirmed it to me this morning.
Moving over to the library probably will not remove her entirely from the world of business development, considering the library's central role in the Nugget Project.
We will have more details on this change soon.
