JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – After serving the city of Jamestown as Mayor for 8 years, Katie Andersen has moved her focus to the Jamestown Regional Airport.

Andersen was unanimously approved to be the next manager at the Tuesday board meeting. She was also a member of the Airport Authority board when she was mayor. She was one of three candidates to be considered for the job.

A search was started when former Jamestown Regional Airport Manager Samuel Seafeldt tendered his resignation in October when he announced he had applied for a position in Nebraska.
