Kate MacArthur has been selected to be the new executive director for economic development for the Zachary Chamber of Commerce. MacArthur is the former director of business intelligence for BRAC, a position she left last year to become director of marketing and existing industry at the Myrtle Beach Regional Economic Development Corp. She replaces David "Chip" Mills. MacArthur comes on board as the Zachary Chamber, the city of Zachary and the Zachary Community School District begin a new collaborative marketing campaign, hoping to use the community's top-ranked schools as a draw for new businesses. The campaign, dubbed "SmartPlus," or "Smart+," kicks off with an event tonight, 6:30 p.m., at the Copper Mill Community Center. —David Jacobs
