Jim Joiner has announced that he plans to seek re-election as mayor of Jefferson.
“I feel that I offer the leadership Jefferson needs at this point because of the many projects that we have working,” he said. “Two examples are the streetscape project and the Parks Creek Reservoir. Also, I am continually working with the chamber of commerce on economic development as we have commercial and industrial prospects interested in locating in Jefferson. Working with these prospects is one of the things that I really enjoy. It’s a great feeling to get new industry here not only because of the tax base, but also the job creation. Jefferson will continue to grow. It will grow whether we want it to or not."
Joiner to seek re-election
Joiner also said he has the time needed to devote to the job.
“I have a great working relationship with the chamber, the county officials and other city officials,” he said. “Being retired, I have the time to devote my full energy to the City of Jefferson – a city that I have loved since we moved here 30 years ago. I want Jefferson to be a place where people live and have the quality of life that we can all say this is a great place to live, work and play. The City of Jefferson has a school system that is one of the top-rated in the state of Georgia. Since I have been mayor, we have established a recreation department that is the envy of any city in the state of Georgia. Also, we have developed a civic center that was much needed by our community and this is evidenced by the amount of use we have there on a weekly basis. Also, replacement of the old club house by a facility that is available for rental for any type of small event was a much needed addition and is also used weekly."
