New business and investment in the City of Shelbyville have created a community of helpers and dedicated citizens. Jeff Johnson, the Mayor of Shelbyville, speaks about how active each generation has been in the community. From the young students getting involved to the older generations paving the way, Johnson is proud of his community.

Continuing the tradition of community involvement has come easy as grant money has boosted the Shelbyville area, making progress economically and socially.

Johnson notes other additions to the Downtown Shelbyville area, like beautifying the corner drug store and the Old Lance Building. New storefronts have also created a customer-friendly atmosphere. Johnson sees this as an investment in the city as these investors have confidence in the future of Shelbyville.

Johnson says those who are selling businesses have not had a hard time passing that along, as buyers see the bright future for Downtown Shelbyville.

Jeff Johnson appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show in Shelbyville.
