Economic development in Jordan is healthy, Mayor Ron Jabs noted as an aside during the city council meeting tonight.

For a discussion about this summer's art festival, City Planner Casey MacCallum put together a map with the names of businesses that front downtown Jordan streets. The map was meant to factor into a decision about which sections of roadway to close for the festival, which annually draws about 2,000 people to the historic business district. 

The start of something big often starts with something little.

Businessowners have succeeded in garnering a $1,500 pledge from the city of Jordan to take out an advertisement in a promotional brochure meant to showcase the city's downtown to tourists.

The city council unanimously approved the measure this week, following the recommendation of the Jordan Economic Development Authority to pass the proposal made by Terri Knox, Mara Wallach, and Vicki Anderson.

I recently filled in some of the extra information on my profile for this Web site. Check me out at http://www.jordannews.com/community/members/brandon. I was a little disappointed, though, when I found out I’m the only “Downtown” resident to fill in my development field.

A team of architects, landscape architects, planners, and other community design professionals might play a role in developing a vision of the future for downtown Jordan.

I love days when I don't even have to start my car.
