Missouri media report top economic appointment to Jason Hall ’97
Various Missouri media outlets, including the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, note the appointment of Jason Hall ’97 as head of the state’s Department of Economic Development.
Hall has run the quasi-governmental Missouri Technology Corp. since 2009. According to the Post-Dispatch, he’s “been one of the state’s pointmen on efforts to grow high-tech and science jobs. He also helped to craft MOSIRA, the fund recently approved by lawmakers to spark investment in those areas.”
