Pflugerville Community Development Corp. Taps New President

PFLUGERVILLE, TX — The Pflugerville Community Development Corporation (PCDC) Board of Directors elected Ken D’Alfonso as president during in a recent special meeting.

The election was conducted on Aug. 4, PCDC Executive Director Amy Madison said.

“Ken’s previous experience in senior base leadership and business, coupled with his active role in community organizations provide a great foundation for the mission and goals of our economic development organization," Madison said. "We are fortunate he is willing to serve in this role.”

D’Alfonso was appointed to the PCDC board by the Pflugerville City Council in January 2016 and will serve as president through January when the annual elections take place. The position was recently vacated by Jim Swanzy, past president, who resigned in June due to family obligations and relocation to another community.

“Pflugerville is such a fantastic place to live, work and play," D’Alfonso said. "The community’s diversity, quality of life, skilled workforce and affordability are unmatched in Central Texas. No wonder we are the third fastest growing city in the U.S. and consistently listed by Money Magazine in the list of ‘Best Places to Live.’ After the military, our family could have settled down literally anywhere; now I couldn’t imagine living any place else.”

D’Alfonso retired from the U.S. Air Force after 27 years of active duty service. Since retirement from active duty in 2014, he has been a partner in a property development business and is active in various local organizations, including the Pflugerville Rotary Club, Pflugerville ISD Foundation Board and District Academic Advisory Council, American Legion, Pflugerville Chamber of Commerce and many other organizations.
