Mayor Paul Soglin on Thursday named veteran government official Jim O?Keefe as Madison?s next director of community development. O?Keefe was administrator for the Division of Housing and Community Development in the state Department of Commerce under former Gov. Jim Doyle, and remained with the agency under the Walker administration to assist with its transition to the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., where he was hired as a policy analyst. He also served as the city?s government relations officer under Soglin and former Mayor Sue Bauman from 1990 to 2003.
