“As long as there are people that care about our town as strongly as the JCT, the commitment to change in our community will remain strong and our potential will be fully realized. The dedication of the Johnsonburg Community Trust is evident in the continuing betterment of Johnsonburg. Everyone here believes in one sentiment: that our community can be better than it is. Ignorance will not produce change, but we can. This sentiment is at the heart of the Trust’s mission.”
