Lippincott comes to City Hall with strong knowledge of the Valley. He most recently served as president/CEO of the Kings County Economic Development Corp.
“I am very excited and honored to join the incredibly dynamic city of Fresno team. I look forward to learning of current business attraction, retention, and expansion efforts in the Fresno economy and how those efforts can be built upon going forward,” Lippincott said in a news release Tuesday afternoon.

While with Kings County, Lippincott also led that county’s job training office, where he designed and implemented new programs for businesses and residents.
