Sounds like she's an ideal candidate for planning director - someone who knows the town in that position would be super and a great change.
That’s not her path. At last week’s city council meeting BCHA interim director Sarah Michael’s spoke of the plan for Ms Connelly to take over BCHA and form it into a new effort for the county, with the funding coming from Ketchum. Unfortunately, the other cities in the WRV do not seem to be signed onto funding that program yet.
