?? Leadership in Action: A Morning with Rick Hester ?? You just don’t know how fortunate Johnston County residents are to have a County Manager like Rick J. Hester - MPA! His passion for our community, depth of knowledge, and dedication as a civil servant truly sets him apart. Last Thursday, thanks to BARRY WOODARD of HomeTowne Realty, we had the privilege of welcoming Rick to our HomeTowne Realty Main Street office for an engaging and informative meeting. Rick took the time to share updates on several key topics that directly impact our community: ?? County Property Tax Revaluation: Rick walked us through what’s happening behind the scenes with the revaluation process, shedding light on how the changes aim to ensure fairness and transparency for property owners. ?? New Public Schools: With Johnston County's growth, Rick provided exciting updates on the progress of new schools being built to serve our expanding population. It’s reassuring to know how well the county is planning for the future of education. ?? NC DOT Highway Construction: Rick also addressed the state of highway construction projects, giving us a glimpse of what’s ahead for improving infrastructure and mobility across the county. Hearing Rick speak reminded me of how invaluable his leadership has been in navigating Johnston County through periods of rapid growth and change. His commitment to open communication and proactive planning ensures we are equipped for a bright future. As real estate professionals, these insights are critical to better serve our clients and help them understand the evolving dynamics of Johnston County. Thank you, Rick, for your time, and thank you, Barry, for organizing such a meaningful event! To my network: If you’re looking for a shining example of public service done right, look no further than Rick Hester. He’s an incredible asset to Johnston County, and we are lucky to have him leading the charge. #Leadership #JohnstonCounty #RealEstateInsights #PublicService #CommunityMatters @GrowWithJoCo
