David Buck Dellinger is returning to the Clarksville area as CEO of the Clarksville-Montgomery County Economic Development Council.
Dellinger was named to the position Thursday afternoon in a special-called board of directors meeting, a move which ended a troubling two weeks for the county’s leaders in economic and industrial development.
Dellinger served in the U.S. Army from 1988-2017, including as garrison commander of Fort Campbell (2012-15). I think he s very qualified and has a lot of experience, said EDC Board chairperson Suzanne Langford. That was one of the things that set him apart.
EDC officials said Dellinger was selected from among 74 applicants after a nationwide search. He replaces former EDC CEO Jeff Truitt in the role.
