01/30/2025

As part of our efforts to deliver on the 2020 Comprehensive Plan, we are excited to share the progress we've made in encouraging quality community-oriented retail and restaurants in Jersey Village. This strategy is vital for fostering a vibrant local economy and enhancing the quality of life for our residents.

 

To spearhead these efforts, we have hired a dedicated Community Development Manager, Miesha Johnson. Miesha is actively working on economic development in these areas, bringing her expertise and passion to the role. This week, she is attending ICSC@RED RIVER, an event where retailers and restaurants looking to expand go to find new markets. She has a several meetings with retailers set up. Her participation in this event is a testament to our commitment to attracting high-quality businesses to Jersey Village.

 

In 2024, Miesha spearheaded the first annual Jersey Village Restaurant Week, an event that highlighted the fantastic restaurants we have here and showcased Jersey Village as a foodie city with opportunities for new restaurants to grow. The event was a resounding success, drawing attention to our local culinary scene and encouraging new dining establishments to consider Jersey Village as their next home.

 

Miesha also works closely with existing commercial building owners to help find high-quality tenants that can fill their spaces. Her efforts ensure that our commercial areas are vibrant and thriving, with businesses that meet the needs and desires of our community.

 

We are proud of the progress we are making in encouraging quality community-oriented retail and restaurants, and we look forward to continuing these efforts as we work towards the goals set out in the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Your feedback and involvement were crucial in the creation of the Comprehensive Plan, and we are excited to share more stories of our achievements in the coming weeks.
