About Joshua A. Smith

As a senior executive in local government for 25 years, including 23 years as a City Manager/Administrator, much of my focus was in finance, real estate, economic development, and placemaking. The transition to my current role as CEO at the Butler County Finance Authority (an Ohio Port Authority) was driven by my passion for these areas. I am excited to leverage my prior work experience to provide value to governments, businesses, and organizations across Butler County, Ohio.
