Potsdam Rotary welcomed its third new member of the year on February 6 with the induction of Fred Hanss, who was sponsored by Duane Pelkey. Fred has twenty years of experience in community and economic development, most recently in the planning and development office of the Village of Potsdam. He was previously a member of the Canton Rotary Club.

In his program presentation to the Club, Fred noted the importance of three factors in local economic development: land use regulations, infrastructure development, and incentives for new and existing businesses.

Please welcome Fred Hanss to Rotary and to Potsdam.
