On Wednesday afternoon, the Copperas Cove Economic Development Corporation announced that Executive Director Jonas Titas has accepted the position as President of the Victoria (Texas) Economic Development Corporation and his last day at the CCEDC will be Friday, August 13.

“It is with a heavy heart that I announce my resignation from Copperas Cove. We have many exciting projects underway that will continue to have Board, staff and community support,” Titas said in a press release.

The EDC board will hold a meeting on Friday, July 30 to plan and discuss next steps for staffing the organization.

“We are thankful to Jonas for his efforts with the Copperas Cove EDC and wish him well. Copperas Cove is a great place to do business and our projects and work programming will be unaffected by any staffing changes. CCEDC continues to move forward with our industrial and community development projects in concert with our community partners,” said EDC Board Chair JC Stubbs.

Titas was hired by the CCEDC as its executive director in April 2019 after being at the helm of the Conroe Economic Development Council.
