MISSION – The corporation that spurs on revitalization projects in Mission has its inaugural Chief Executive Officer.

The city has appointed Stacey Crawford as the CEO of Mission Bridgehead Investment Corporation, stating he will drive the entity’s strategic vision, which includes a Waterfront Revitalization Initiative.

“After a very careful recruiting process, it became clear to the entire Bridgehead Board that the best person for the role of CEO was already a part of our team,” City Of Mission mayor Paul Horn said.

“No one knows Mission’s economic landscape like Stacey and no candidate could match his longstanding record of establishing great business relationships and opportunities.”

Crawford is transitioning from his post as the Chief Operating Officer of Bridgehead and has previous experience as the city’s Director of Economic Development, a job he took on in 2009.
