When you think
of economic development in Johnston, keep these terms in mind:
Marketing, Strategic Leadership,
Infrastructure, and
Problem Solving. If you are a business, developer, broker,
contractor, financial institution, engineer, architect, attorney, citizen or
city leader, then you have a stake in our efforts to make development in
Johnston successful. Here are a few of the things we have done in 2006 - and
some highlighted plans for 2007. Be sure to review the 2007
event schedule and mark your
calendar!
