Junction City Main Street, Executive Director
Coming in as the new Executive Director Junction City Main Street at the beginning of May 2024, Jordan McCann noted that the transition has been a whirlwind. The support and enthusiasm from our community has been incredible, and I am excited to continue building on the strong foundation laid by my predecessors.
Over the past few weeks, she has been focused on getting up to speed with grants. They are wrapping up the JCE 101/201 and FHRC Microgrants to ensure these resources benefit our community effectively, has been attending trainings and conferences to deepen her understanding of the Main Street program and learn from the network.
They recently hosted the Main Street America team for a 3 E's event, which focused on engaging business owners, community members, and stakeholders in discussions about economic, environmental, and social initiatives. As part of the event, conducted a few business visits and a comprehensive tour of the downtown area. It was an opportunity to showcase the potential of our community and to gather valuable feedback.
Lastly, McCann said that she has spent significant time updating and transitioning necessary admin information to ensure smooth operations for future projects.
