The city of Bremerton must speak with one voice in several upcoming decisions that affect economic development. Zoltan Szigethy, the executive director of the Kitsap Regional Economic Development Council, is supposed to convince entrepreneurs that they want to do business in Kitsap County.
Entrepreneurs are risk-takers.
They take ideas and turn them into money-making businesses. Kitsap needs entrepreneurs to broaden its economic base. And Szigethy is convinced that Kitsap County can't succeed unless Bremerton succeeds. He believes downtown Bremerton will either lead county economic growth or it will hinder it. Szigethy says there is a misconception about entrepreneurs.
