As Longmont EDP’s economic development specialist, Pitts-Noggle will be responsible for bringing new ideas and creative approaches to the long-term retention and growth of Longmont’s existing primary industry base.
Pitts-Noggle brings her keen knowledge of data and metrics to tell larger, compelling stories about the impact of an organization, community, and business ecosystem.
