Since its inception, Johnson County has been a place where people want to live, work, and raise a family – a Community of Choice. With a national reputation for excellence, Johnson County exhibits the hallmarks of a great community: ample parkland and open spaces; cultural amenities and a low crime rate; a well-designed and maintained infrastructure grid; transportation corridors; award-winning schools and excellent libraries; and distinctive neighborhoods that welcome people, whether they’ve lived here for decades or just moved in.
A 2007 Citizens’ Survey reported that the County’s efforts to protect the environment should be among the services receiving the most emphasis over the next two years. The County’s leaders and professional staff have responded to their residents’ preferences, and are changing the way government does business – through leadership, commitment and action.
