On Monday, November 3rd, the Michigan Main Street Center @ MSHDA will welcome our newest teammate...Dace K13! Ok, so K13 isn't his real last name, but with a name like Koenigsknecht, he was smart to come up with a shorter moniker. (For those of you short on math and logic skills, the K13 comes from the first letter of his last name followed by 13 letters, hence K13.) Dace will join the team as our newly created Economic Restructuring Specialist.
Besides a cool nickname, Dace comes to the team with a Master's Degree in Historic Preservation from Eastern Michigan University and has a strong passion for revitalizing Michigan's downtowns. Dace has spent the past few years assisting the City of Eaton Rapids and their local businesses and property owners in establishing a National Historic District. Dace also recently presented at a national conference on the importance of historic preservation. The most impressive thing about him is that he has engaged in these activities all on his own time! His day job has been doing information technology services with the Michigan Department of Community Health. He has been waiting (impatiently I'm sure) for his chance to help communities directly. We are confident that our Michigan Main Street communities will be impressed with his energy, enthusiasm and knowledge about integrating historic preservation with economic development activities. We know he will be a true asset to our team and to our communities.
Please join me in welcoming Dace Koenigsknecht to the Michigan Main Street family!
