Meet Mayor Mark Jantzer of Minot North Dakota

from Closest to the People with Crystal Froese · host Crystal Froese

Here is the first episode of my chat with Mayor Mark Jantzer of Minot North Dakota. Minot and Moose Jaw are so similar in many ways. In this conversation with Mayor Mark Jantzer, we cover a lot of ground — and over the next couple of episodes I’ll be breaking it down into some really interesting topics.We talk about the federal investment in the U.S. Air Force Base, and what that means for Minot’s economy, housing, and infrastructure as the community prepares for continued military growth.We dive into what he calls the three wicked challenges Minot is facing and what  Mayor Janzter feels are the big issues as they head into an election, including what it takes to lead a growing prairie city during a time of big expectations from residents. And one topic that might not sound flashy — but has a huge impact on how a city runs — is how Minot tackled implementing a modern municipal accounting system. It may not be the sexiest subject, but it has a massive effect on how efficiently cities deliver services to their citizens.So stay tuned for these upcoming episodes as we unpack these issues and more.Because at the end of the day, these are the kinds of decisions happening closest to the people.Thank you for tuning in.
