MASON CITY – A political insider informed NIT this afternoon that North Iowa Corridor CEO  Brent Willett has resigned.

The source said that Willett is taking a job in Southern Iowa.

The resignation caught several of his backers – people who write checks to the Corridor – by surprise, NIT was told.

Willett, the “face” of economic development in North Iowa since 2011, was hired that year as the “Executive Director” of the North Iowa Corridor Economic Development Corporation, sometimes known as the EDC.  The outfit takes hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from Clear Lake, Mason City and Cerro Gordo county.

Willett began referring to himself as “President & CEO” of the Corridor late last year, after his crowning achievement of landing a couple dozen jobs to Mason City at a call center that pays $9.50 an hour.
