Economic Vitality
The Economic Vitality Committee is made up of business owners, entrepreneurial-minded community members, and business support professionals who are directly impacted by the growth and direction of Junction City. Their efforts are guided by a shared understanding of current and emerging market trends. The committee focuses on recruiting compatible new businesses, strengthening the competitiveness of existing merchants and service providers, and diversifying the local economic base. They also work to creatively transform unused or underutilized spaces into economically productive properties. Together, the Economic Vitality and Design Committees collaborate to find solutions for historic commercial buildings, ensuring their continued occupancy, maintenance, and preservation.
