“Entering my fifth year as a dedicated director with the Johnsonburg Community Trust fills me with joy, with the privilege of serving as president for three of those years. As a fifth-generation resident of this remarkable Borough, my commitment to Johnsonburg's well-being is not simply a duty, but a deeply ingrained passion.

While my service to the Trust is a significant part of my life, I also find joy and fulfillment in other pursuits. I often retreat to my studio, where I express my creativity through crafting artisan jewelry, fiber art, leather carving and mixed media art. Each piece I create carries a bit of my heart and soul, much like the dedication I pour into my work for the Trust.

I firmly believe that by working together, with open hearts and a shared vision, we can continue to build upon Johnsonburg's rich heritage. Making it an even more thriving and vibrant community for generations to come in a place that truly feels like home is possible.”

 “This is my fifth year serving as a director of the Johnsonburg Community Trust. My involvement in historic restoration and community revitalization projects within Elk County began several years ago when I made the decision to return to my hometown. The wealth of experience I've gained during this time has solidified my belief in the Borough of Johnsonburg's potential.

I firmly believe that Johnsonburg possesses numerous assets that can play a pivotal role in helping our region overcome the challenges it currently faces. As a fifth-generation resident of Elk County, I take immense pride in my deep-rooted connection to this area. My personal investment in the community extends beyond mere residency; as a local business owner, I have a vested interest in fostering regional growth while simultaneously preserving the unique character of our local communities.

The preservation of our local heritage and the pursuit of sustainable growth are not mutually exclusive goals; rather, they are complementary aspects of a holistic approach to community development. I am committed to working collaboratively with fellow Trust directors and community stakeholders to leverage Johnsonburg's strengths and ensure a prosperous future for all who call this region home.” —Andrew Mohney

“This is my fourth year serving as a director on the Johnsonburg Community Trust (JCT), and it also marks my first term as the Mayor of Johnsonburg. I consider it a privilege to serve our community in these dual roles and am dedicated to making Johnsonburg the best it can be.

I believe strongly in community engagement and you can often find me at local events, meeting with residents, listening to their concerns, and sharing in the joys of our town's vibrant life. I'm also a proud volunteer firefighter with the Johnsonburg Fire Department, where I work alongside my fellow residents to keep our community safe.

I have always been fascinated by our local history and am passionate about preserving Johnsonburg's rich heritage. I'm excited to be part of the revitalization projects happening throughout the borough, and I'm committed to working with the JCT and other community partners to build a bright future for Johnsonburg while honoring its past.”
—Mayor, Kyle Paget
