When Geary County Convention and Visitors Bureau Director Connie Hall talks glowingly about the area she has been a part of for so long, her passion is obvious. We are a diamond in the rough here, she says with a nod and confident smile. But for Hall, that means theres work to be done. Theres that persona and theres the reality and then theres the potential of what we can become, she said. Its about how we put them together. It takes everybody to get that. Hall believes it is time for Junction City and Geary County to shine. Thats one of the purposes of the CVB. We must continue to polish the stone and continue on, she said. One way the CVB does that is by promoting the community around the country at conventions and other events. She calls their efforts pressing flesh in other words, shaking hands. And talking about the community is part of that. Hall said the key is to showcase the area in the right light to those attending the conventions or events. People in Chicago want to get out of the big city and have that touch of nature, Hall said. Why cant they come here? She said she tries to tie emotions to those she talks to. I say, wouldnt you want to get out of the city lights and see the stars? she said. We put an emotional value to that. We have a passion and belief in our community when we are talking

Positioning Junction City for growth

We sell the fact that we are a diverse county we have a lot of history a lot of culture. The big thing that companies look for when they come to the area is workforce, we sell the fact that we do have an available workforce; having Fort Riley here with experienced educated workers that helps.

a strategy that includes making contact with site selectors who work with companies that are looking to locate or relocate. However, before they can expect success with the site selectors they need to develop a comprehensive report on all of the available properties. We have to know what land we have available, she said. We have different areas of land that we can propose but the thing with companies is when they want to come somewhere they want to locate somewhere real real quickly. We have to know what land is available and we
Report on available properties key to site selections

lthough there are no prospects for the arrival of any major business or industry, the Economic Development Commission is working on positioning Junction City to be an attractive option to industry looking to locate in Kansas. We dont really have anything coming in that is definite. We have a couple, maybe possibilities but nothing concrete, said Susan Jagerson, Economic Development Specialist. She said the EDC responds to prospects that are disseminated by the Kansas Department of Commerce. They put out a request for proposals when someone has a specific need that fits something available in the area. We dont really have people coming in looking as much as we submit proposals to the Department of Commerce, she said. Moving into the future Jagerson said the big push for her department is to develop

have to be able to give them a price on the land. There are several existing buildings that a potential business could move into. Among them is the Coors Building on North Jackson St. Its been vacant a long time, but Jagerson said even though it may not appear so; it really is in a convenient location. Junction Citys location right off I-70 is one of the selling points that she tries to impress on potential businesses. We are right in the animal-health corridor, easily accessible to Denver and Kansas City, you can get anywhere from right here, she said. Unfortunately while Junction City may be right on the interstate, that isnt enough for many companies that are looking to be close to their suppliers or at least have easy access to transportation, two factors that are lacking in this area, she said. We sell the fact that we are a diverse county we have a lot of history a lot of culture, she said. The big thing that companies look for when they come to the area is workforce, we sell the fact that we do have an available workforce; having Fort Riley here with experienced educated workers that helps. The down side though is that it is a transient population, she said. Right now employers are looking for workers with a good work ethic the soft skills, workers who can come to work on time, show up and get along with others, she said. The people getting out of the military separating or retiring have that, Businesses that are established appear to be doing well, she said It looks like people are hiring and doing pretty well. Most of our industries, if you look in the paper have ads that they are hiring. The January opening of CVS was also a big move in the right direction, being the first major retail chain other than Walmart, which could lead to additional chain stores. They say if you get one others will follow, she said. But theres nothing yet on the horizon.

Local realtors looking forward to upswing
Down, but now out

Story and photo By Gail Parsons
The real estate market in Junction City may have slowed down a bit over the past year, but there appears to be a healthy balance between what is being sold and what is pending. Shayla Deam, who opened the Re/Max agency with Patty Maycroft and Kelly Steinfort, said around 2006, 2007 the industry was kicking. Everybody got used to that, they got used to having customers fall into your lap. Nobody had to brainstorm how to really do business it was just falling into your lap. Today the market has slowed down. Maycroft said the past six months have probably been the worst area agents have seen the local market for a long time for sales. In addition to real estate being a seasonal business that slows down in the autumn this past winter was made worse with the government shut down and the budget sequestration. We had people cancelling contracts and just not buying because of the shutdown, she said. In a community that is heavily employed by government workers, the uncertainty of the federal budget has made potential buyers skittish about making such a big purchase. Additionally theres not a lot of movement within the military, VA loans account for 85 to 90 percent of their business, Deam and Maycroft said they are optimistic the market will begin turning around soon.
Shayla Deam, one of the owners of the new Re/Max agency in Junction City is optimistic that the local real estate market will pick up soon.
As buyers begin showing interest tion City is what she and Maycroft again they said they will turn their try to show people are a worthwhile focus on showing potential buyers investment. why purchasing over renting is a We have got to really focus as a good choice, and why buying in community on improving our outJunction City would be a positive look on our community instead of $750 experience.

When Re/Max approached them they saw the opportunity ahead of them, despite what they believe will just be a temporary lull in activity. All three of us wanted to stay in the real estate industry and were willing to ride it out because we have faith that it will change, Maycroft said.
Being part of a bigger national organization, they have the sources they need to grow the company and said Re/Max has been a tremendous help. Anything we need is a phone call away, Deam said. And as for making a go with a new agency when the market is a little depressed, she said theyre not worried because they enjoy what they do and believe in their own creativity and what they can bring to the market. This too shall pass, she said of the downturn in the market.

Preparing For Major Remodel
Waters True Value has officially begun construction on a major remodel project. The store located at 6th and Washington is currently 25,000 square feet. The major remodel project will include 8,000 square feet of additional square feet and will include a full service green house. The addition will bring the total footprint of the store to 33,000 square feet. The addition will provide 37% more space which will include areas for more indoor rental, better lumber displays, and more merchandise. The remodel willincludeallnewfixturesandshelving,alongwithacompleteupdatetothestoredecor.Watersisproudtoannouncethatlocal construction company R&R Developers will handle all of the construction. Initial plans are set to have a grand opening in September later this year. The history between Waters True Value and Junction City goes back a long, long ways. All the way to 1905 to be exact. Waters Hardware began when first generation G.E. Waters purchased Gretners hardware in 1905. In 1917, Waters Hardware moved to 8th and Washington. In 1974 there was a major addition and remodel to the location. In 1991, the store expanded and moved to its current location at 129 E. 6th St. In 2002, the store expanded once again to include a full Lumberyard. I remember working as a young boy in the attic of the store on 8th and Washington putting bicycles and BBQ grills together for .25 apiece. said current president Jim Waters.
Were glad to have the opportunity to invest more into Junction City and we want to be the first choice for home improvement in the community. Weve had a great relationship with the Junction City for over 100 years and we look forward to 100 more. mentioned sixth generation vice president Scott Waters.

wraps, paraffin dips, and massage. Massage is by a licensed massage therapist. Pfamatter said there are several people in the area that do massage, but many of them are neither trained nor licensed. He said Kansas is one of only five states that do not have licensing regulations concerning who can give a massage. At this point anyone can walk around and say hey Im a massage therapist let me touch you. he said. If someone doesnt have the proper schooling or knowledge to do a massage they can really hurt someone. You can seriously damage a persons health by not doing massage correctly. Also adding a service they believe is needed in Junction City is Waters True Value. The hardware and lumber store, which has more than a decade of history in Junction City, started a remodel that will add 8,000 square feet to its existing 25,000 square feet store on East Sixth St. The additional space will provide a full-service greenhouse and an area for more indoor rental, better lumber displays, and more merchandise. The remodel will include all new fixtures and shelving, along with a complete update to the store dcor. Were glad to have the opportunity to invest more into Junction City and we want to be the first choice for home improvement in the community, said sixth generation vice president Scott Waters. Weve had a great relationship with Junction City for over 100 years and we look forward to 100 more. Having an updated modern dcor is top on the list of what the new business owners sought when they looked for a location to open their business. Jagerson and Pfamatter both had work to do in their buildings, but when they first looked at the facilities they have moved into, they could see the potential. Level Up needed more work than Roesner and Pfamatter had first anticipated, but they said they knew it would be best to make that investment early on
in order to open a quality spa right from the start. Over six months ago I started venturing out looking for a location. I looked in the window here and despite its hideous wall color and 1980s carpet I fell in love with the space, Roesner said. When I came in and looked at it, I knew it was just right I saw how everything could be laid out. They have pulled up the carpet and installed new flooring, reworked the plumbing, the electric and painted to create a sophisticated space that promotes the relaxation they want their clients to experience. Being located in the 800 block of N. Washington St. puts them squarely in a zone that is heavily travelled, especially by the military and military family population, which they anticipate will constitute a sizeable portion of their customer base. What they plan on giving their customer is an experience that they know is available in other places. A lot of people in this community are transients, they come from places that have (salons) like this, Roesner said. Im from Chicago and I miss being able to walk into somewhere that it doesnt matter how much I spend because the experience alone is going to be worth the dollars. A place that I know I am going to leave happy and relaxed. Its not just about coming in and getting your nails done its about the experience that you have when you come in that door. Jagerson too said the location he chose needed some work inside to give it the clean modern look that he wanted for a product that matches the needs of todays modern consumer. He said he chose the strip mall in the 700 block of W. Sixth St. because of its location on a well-travelled street right near the recently-remodeled Dillons. Adding to his decision was the ability to get cell phone service. Some of the older buildings he looked at with the tin ceilings and thick limestone walls are not conducive to the modern technology. In a cell phone business that can be a problem if you cant get service in the store, he said. I didnt think I could sell someone a phone
and tell them we dont have service in here, but dont worry you will get it outside. He also is pleased that he could start the store small and steady and then build up, which he believes gives him a better opportunity for longterm success. Being from Junction City and also serving as the Junction City High School assistant baseball coach, his intention is for a Freedom Wireless to be around for a long time. Jagerson, Pfamatter, and Roesner agree that the biggest challenge ahead is getting the word out about their business, but with creative marketing strategies they will address those challenges head on. They also agree that they are excited about their new ventures and bringing their services to Junction City. We are just excited to be here, Pfamatter said. Jenn just loves making people feel good about themselves, I love making people feel better, between the two of us its a great combination.

Where does CVB see itself in 5 years?

A leader in Kansas among Destination Marketing Organizations A top 10 Kansas Destination Junction City to be known as the Special Event Capital of Kansas Collaborating and partnering with an increasing number of tourism partners Growing the staff of the CVB
Outdoor activities set area apart

Junction City/Geary County has four major advantages in the outdoor market: a diverse offering of natural locations; the largest lake in Kansas Milford, the Kansas River; numerous bodies of waters and the Flint Hills with an extensive area of grasslands, woods and wetlands all within a central location for easy access. Milford Lake, Milford State Park, the largest Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks & Tourism public hunting grounds in the state and a wide diversity of outdoor eco-tourism assets sets us apart. Add the excellent Golf courses in Junction City/Geary County, it all adds up to prime outdoor experiences making us a prime choice for the consumptive and non-consumptive markets. Junction City/Geary County also benefits from sporting events at K-State by virtue of our close proximity to the campus, hosting of opposing teams and the hospitality offered here. Special events at the lake attracts the visitor and exposes our area as a prime fishing and outdoor location for hiking, biking, boating, bird watching, swimming and camping. Junction Citys national recognition of being consistently rated by Outdoor Life Magazine as one of the top 200 town in America for anglers and hunters only brings credibility to what we know as our number one destination Milford Lake with more than 1.2 million visits a year.
But when it comes to visitors, Hall said the community and activities speak for themselves. Experience the community one time and you will want to come back, she said. Or in residents cases, stay for years. We believe it is that good in Junction City, she said
Run for the Wall

Hall said. The events are a close second, including Sundown Salute, Run for the Wall, Jammin in JC Blues fest, the National Biplane Fly-in among so many more. We are quickly becoming the event capital of Kansas, Hall said. Over the years, Hall said marketing the area has changed drastically in some ways, not so much in others. Its a heck of a lot busier, Hall said. Something else that has changed the outside perceptions of Junction City. We dont get that on the outside the Junk town statements, she said. That is mostly in town that keeps that alive. Hall said perception and reality of that has changed since the 1970s here in Junction City. She said at that time the area was considered what was then a typical military town. All that happened in our community, but we have made a complete turnaround from that time, she said. Now, one must look at the population makeup of the area, she said. People are retiring here and it is not because of those factors, but because we have a quality community that has grown leaps and bounds over the years, Hall said. It is evident within the amenities and downtown. However, that is not always easy to show to the locals who have been here for years. Part of making the diamond shine is to help local people and new residents understand and know all the activities and events that go on in Junction City and Geary County. We have to drive the community to get excited about that kind of stuff, she said. Thats no small potatoes. Changing that perception within the community is important. People in a hometown atmosphere tend to get into their own little worlds, she said. So many times when yo are in a community, you have blinders on and you dont see it.
GOOD
those from larger states and big cities. The Wizard of Oz kept the image of Kansas in black and white, Hall said. We tell people the Wizard of Oz is a Hollywood creation and we are in living color. That color comes through in the history of the area, including Fort Riley and the natural areas such as Milford Lake. We have always known those are our pluses,
Thousands of Happy Windows!

because we had a lot of customers that requested our presence, said General Manager Kasey Hanney. It is also a bigger population too and gives us a chance to share our great food, our great atmosphere and our great customer service with more people. Dinners at Ikes Place get a little more than just a meal. The walls are adorned with photographs and memorabilia related to President Eisenhower, who grew up in Abilene. Hanney said the restaurant represents Eisenhower and what he stood for. Eisenhower loved sports, he was a sports enthusiast and obviously he was in the military, she said. Being in Junction City that has a little to do with attracting people from Fort Riley to come and get a glimpse of Eisenhower even if they cant make it over to Abilene to the presidential library; although we hope everyone gets the chance to go there and learn a little bit more about him. At Ikes Place they get small glimpse into his life. While Hanney is from the Kansas City area and is still learning more about Eisenhower, she said many of the servers know about him from growing up in the Abilene area. Its nice when we have people passing through and the servers can provide answers to our customers, she

said. Just as Ikes Place responded to the customer, Dillons did the same when they brought the salad bar back after many years of it being gone. That was the number one complaint my customers had that we didnt have a salad bar, Treichler said. We found a lot of our customers wanted a place to make a destination for lunch or dinner. I have some people come in every day, sometimes twice a day. Also in response to customer requests they added sushi, which was in demand from the military; and offers cooked seafood, prepared for the individual customer. the rejuvenation of Sixth that they exist.

From deciding the location to getting the word out about, new businesses have challenges that need careful consideration. Schoenrock said he looked at different parts of town but settled on his Sixth Street location partly because of its proximity to the high school and the movie theater and
