After structuring an economic development arm to replace Enterprise Flagler — which will close operations Sept. 30 — and agreeing on a job description for a new economic development director Sept. 7, the Flagler County Board of County Commissioners made official a position for former Enterprise Flagler Executive Director Greg Rawls.
The economic development manager position, approved unanimously Sept. 19, is meant to ease the transition between Enterprise Flagler and the new organization.
It will pay in a salary range of $64,496 to $97,582 per year, which County Administrator Craig Coffey noted as “significantly less” than what Rawls is currently earning.
Coffey also explained that Enterprise Flagler has agreed to turn Rawls’ three-month severance package over to the county, along with all its physical and intellectual property.
The rest of its assets will be split between the county and the Palm Coast Business Assistance Center.
“Rawls is not the new economic development director,” Coffey said, to clarify. “At best, he is the No. 2 person.”
His county contract will be good for up to a year, at which time the new CEO can opt to extend his tenure within the organization.
