Tinley Park Hires Economic Development Director

TINLEY PARK, IL — The Tinley Park Village Board on Tuesday appointed Patrick Hoban to the position of Economic Development Manager during its regular meeting at Village Hall. Hoban will begin Monday, Feb. 6.

Hoban is a certified economic developer who now serves as Economic Development Officer with the City of Decatur and has spent 10 years of his professional career in various economic development positions.

Several months ago, the Village undertook a national search for a Community Development Director and received 73 resumes. While the search did not result in filling that director position, some applicants were identified as strong candidates for the position of Economic Development Manager.

The Economic Development Manager is a new position that will report directly to the Community Development Director as part of the recent restructuring of the former Planning, Building and Economic Development departments into the new Community Development Department.

“Of all the candidates, Patrick best displayed the skills and experience we were looking for in this position,” Tinley Park Mayor Dave Seaman said. “Patrick will make a great addition to the team, and we all look forward to working with him to ensure Tinley Park continues to attract and retain the very best businesses and developments.”
