Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter on Thursday named Republican state Rep. Don Marostica to be his new director of the state Office of Economic Development and International Trade.
Ritter said the Loveland businessman will help the state preserve jobs and find new businesses to move to Colorado.
Ritter appointed the previous director, Don Elliman, to be state government’s first chief operating officer to dole out federal stimulus funding.
“At this crucial time in Colorado’s history, getting our economy moving again is one of our highest priorities. Don will bring the right mix of skills, experience and expertise from both the public and private sectors to the job,” Ritter said at a news conference announcing the appointment.
