The Marlborough Economic Development Corp. has hired former Worcester economic development director George A. Ciccone as its new executive director.
Ciccone replaces Marilyn Whalley, the Raynham town planner and consultant who worked as a part-time executive director for the MEDC since January.
Prior to Whalley, MEDC was led by Tom Wellen, who was executive director for less than a year.
In addition to Worcester, Ciccone was economic development director in North Adams, Somerville, Chelsea and Attleborough.
MEDC Chairman Arthur Bergeron said Ciccone’s experience, particularly in Worcester, would be key in implementing strategies for Marlborough.
