The Columbus Junction Community Development Center continues to be a busy place. Mallory Smith has been the director for the past seven years and says her office handles a little bit of everything.

Smith says she takes care of everything from beautification and litter control to the farmers market, the United Fund activities, to welcoming new residents and helping them integrate into the Columbus Junction community. She says there have been a wise variety of new residents from people overseas to people moving in from other areas of Iowa.

The Community Development office is located in the ground floor of the civic center. She can be reached through the city’s website at Columbusjunctioniowa.org.
