Meet the New Indiana Director for Rural Development
One of the newest USDA appointees in Indiana says he is honored to fill the position. Phil Lehmkuhler will take over as the Indiana State Director for Rural Development_ most probably in late July. Lehmkuhler has developed a wealth of experience through the years that he feels will help make for a natural transition to Rural Development. He told HAT_ "After graduating from college I went out to D.C. and worked for Lee Hamilton for a couple years_ and moved back to Indiana and worked for him nine years in Southern Indiana_ working on rural development_ community and economic development. When he retired in January of 1999 I went to work for Senator Bayh as his deputy state director_ doing similar work for two years during his first term. I then went to the Indiana Department of Commerce_ and most recently at the Indiana Municipal Power Agency where I am Manager of Economic Development and Member Services."  Read More...
