The City of Beloit has hired a former business strategist as its next
economic development director.
In a news release, the city announced the hiring of Jennifer Hall who will serve as
economic development director and as president of the Greater Beloit Economic
Development Corporation (GBEDC).
Hall previously worked as president and head of business strategy at Catalyst
