Junction City is a town of 22,300 people linked geographically and patriotically with 15,000 US soldiers, and their families, stationed at the Ft. Riley Army base. The city celebrates the fact that it has one of the most diverse population bases in Kansas (5th most diverse county) and among Kansas counties has the second largest share of population that is African American. Another important demographic is Geary County is home to a young population (3rd largest share of county population below 17 years of age).

While the focus is on revitalizing and renewing business activity downtown, Main Street collaborates and partners with all entities focused on a successful region. A common refrain is “when good things happen in Geary County, Main Street will benefit.”
