Come rain or shine…or snow, Jodie Nazaka, Director of Economic Development, goes to work for the city of Manchester and she does it in style!
Jodie’s shopped at Fishtoes Vintage + Treasures since our doors opened back in February of 2025 and over the last year, she’s helped our small business stay up to date with the goings on downtown, stay connected to our fellow local businesses and stay aware of local business opportunities.
She’s been the Director of MEDO (Manchester Economic Development Office) for 4 years and because of her, strategies have been created to foster community economic growth, new businesses have been ushered in, existing businesses have been bolstered and the local workforce has been readied for emerging opportunities through the BBBRC (Build Back Better Regional Challenge) grant.
Jodie played a pivotal role in helping the city receive the BBBRC Award and $44 million in funding from the EDA (Economic Development Administration), a grant that will establish Southern New Hampshire as the global epicenter for the production & distribution of regenerative tissues & organs.
We at Fishtoes know that she and the team at MEDO are working hard everyday to help the success of local businesses and our city as a whole. We’re so grateful for everything they’ve done and are doing for Manchester, NH and our small local business.
