TreeTown USA recently announced that Bud Summers has been promoted to the position of chief operating officer of TreeTown USA.

The promotion was announced by CEO Jonathan Saperstein.

Reporting directly to Saperstein in the newly-created position, Summers’ primary

focus in the new role will be to continue the alignment of all 15 growing facilities.
