Falmouth’s Economic Development and Industrial Corporation (EDIC) is hoping to make its leadership more diverse, but efforts have not proved fruitful thus far.

At present, five of the seven board members are white males, with one woman and one man of Hispanic origin. The board knows of up to three positions that will need to be filled by the end of June. EDIC executive director Wayne Lingafelter said he and outgoing EDIC chairman Christopher Land have both talked with potential female candidates, all of whom declined.

Its portfolio includes the restoration of the Falmouth bus station, a solar array at the Falmouth landfill and the Falmouth Technology Park. To read more of this article click here.
