Former Ruston Economic Development Administrator Ray Watson has his old job back.
Mayor Ronny Walker named Watson to the position last week. Watson succeeds Kristi Lumpkin, who held the post for nine years. Watson’s first day at City Hall is Monday.
Watson, most recently a partner in a Dallas-based site selection and government relations boutique firm, was Ruston’s first EDA, serving from 2003 to 2006 during prior Mayor Dan Hollingsworth’s administration.
