Augusta County’s Department of Economic Development announces today the selection of Rebekah S. Castle as its new economic development marketing assistant.

augusta-county2editsCastle, an Augusta County native, brings to the position over seven years of economic development experience and most recently served the Shenandoah Valley Partnership as events coordinator.

“I am looking forward to adding Rebekah to Augusta County’s economic development team,” Economic Development Director Amanda Glover said. “She understands the industry, the partners, and the people, and her experience with marketing and communications will add depth to the department.”

Castle will join the County on December 9 and will support the department’s goals of attracting new business and helping existing industry grow.  “I am excited to join the Augusta County Economic Development team and look forward to working with local businesses and citizens within the County and entire Valley,” said Castle.
