MILTON — John E. Olenik has been appointed Director of Economic Planning, a position created to promote and encourage business development and long-term planning in the town of Milton.
“John has been a long-time resident in Milton, with continuous involvement in the betterment of our town. He brings a substantial amount of experience in the business world as former owner of an insurance firm, and an excellent working knowledge of town activities and our area,” town Supervisor Scott Ostrander said, in a statement.

“We developed a Town Center concept back in 2008 in order to provide our residents with more local goods and services, and while we have established the basic footprint with the help from local developers, we still have a significant amount of commercially zoned land waiting for the investor seeking a strong return on investment,” Ostrander said.
