In a press release issued by SWSE today, Lund laid out his priorities.
"We are looking at co-locating an event centre as part of an entertainment district sparking an entire development," Lund said.
"It will include the new casino resort, new hotels, convention centre space, restaurants, all-weather fieldhouse, motor sports park and the relocated Carmichael Arena, all this while diversifying the economy and strengthening our quality of life."
SWSE owner Dario Zulich said he's confident Lund brings leadership that will propel the organization to the next level of success.
"Scott brings the experience, energy and passion needed for the further development and execution of the strategy to achieve our vision," Zulich stated in apress release.
"His management style is the opposite of mine, therefore complementary."
SWSE said Lund takes over June 5.
