The annual Johnston Economic Development Forum took place on April 1, 2015 at the DuPont Pioneer Carver Center in Johnston. The event included comments from Mayor Paula Dierenfeld, and featured a presentation from guest speaker Major General Timothy Orr, The Adjutant General of the Iowa Army National Guard. General Orr provided a wealth of information about the positive economic impact of Camp Dodge on the Johnston community.
City of Johnston staff also provided updates on plans for infrastructure improvements in 2015 and a review of current housing and commercial development activities. City Administrator Jim Sanders, Community Development Director David Wilwerding, and Communications Specialist Emily Price teamed up to share a lot of positive news about our community. The Development Forum concluded with a networking reception. Thanks to all who attended!
