On April 30th, 2014, Jerry Hinson, Campaign Director, told the Junction City Chamber of Commerce that he felt a Capital Campaign held in Junction City had the potential to raise between $1 million and $1.2 million in investments within a years time.

Fast forward a year later and the Campaign has raised $1.12 million worth of investments over the next five years.

“I can tell you today we’ve done what we said we were going to do, to this point in time,” said Hinson.

Even though the formal part of the campaign is complete and Hinson will be leaving after Thursday, work is still being done on the campaign.

“On May 5th the investors will elect the board. That board will be the group that on a fairly routine basis moves this thing forward.”

The board will be responsible for deciding how the money raised during the campaign can be used. They will also continue to target other potential investors in hopes of exceeding $1.2 million.
