Week of August 09, 2024 through August 15, 2024
My name is Christopher Srackangast, and I am the new Community Development Director for Junction City. Since taking on this role in July, I have been diligently working to advance several development projects across the city. As I look ahead, I want to share my vision for our progress.
Welcome to the City Planning and Zoning department. Our mission is to guide the sustainable and strategic growth of our community through thoughtful planning and effective land use policies. We are committed to balancing development with environmental stewardship, ensuring our city’s infrastructure supports our residents’ needs, and fostering vibrant, livable neighborhoods. Our team collaborates closely with stakeholders, residents, and developers to shape the future of our city, making sure each zoning decision and planning initiative aligns with our long-term vision for growth and prosperity.
I’d like to leave you with a quote by Jean Vanier: “One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn’t as individuals. When we pool our strength and share the work and responsibility, we can welcome many people, even those in deep distress, and perhaps help them find self-confidence and inner healing.”
Thank you for your support and collaboration as we move forward together.
