Economic Development Director for the City of Excelsior Springs Melinda Mehaffy said that the city\u2019s achievements can be traced back to three elements: Place, events, and people.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Community Center has become a magnet for people and we so many good things coming out of the Community Center,\u201d she said. \u201cThe events being put together by the DEP have been outstanding. To see the number of people and the dollars being generated based on these events is outstanding, and helps the community overall be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are so very fortunate to have so many people in this community who are making good things happen,\u201d Mehaffy added. \u201cAs a small community, we have a number of people who are giving of their time, talents and treasures to push good things forward, and to encourage partnerships and programs that grow our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe people are what make Excelsior Springs someplace, not just \u2018any place.\u2019 It\u2019s the piece of everything we do that makes us stand out and be unique. We are very fortunate,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
