On May 19, Gov. Chris Gregoire signed into law bill HB2242 that officially changes the Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development's (CTED) name to the Department of Commerce. It requires the agency director to develop a report to create a department organized around a concise, clear mission for economic development. As one of the first steps to prepare for the change, CTED Director Rogers Weed and a member of the Washington Economic Development Commission is conducting a wide range of outreach visits with business, community and government leaders to gather input on key elements for the new Commerce strategy. The name change will take effect July 26. To learn more link to: http://www.cted.wa.gov/site/675/default.aspx
