Judi Elvington officially retired from her position as Executive Director of the Hartsville Downtown Development Association as we began this new year. She served in her job for 19 years and during her time we saw some great things happen to downtown Hartsville. She was in her job as the downtown was totally revisioned. She worked hard to make many of those things happen and was an active member of the team that helped Hartsville win the All America City designation in 1996. Judi provided years of service that were filled with really good ideas and strong execution and to this day we talk about the importance of downtown to the GROWTH of this community. Here is a blurb about the retirement party that was held for Judi on Thursday evening from the "Our Hartsville" (Jana Longfellow) write up:

Location: Black Creek Arts Center 116 W. College Avenue, Hartsville
Judi is one of many people who the community has called on to lead our community. One of the strengths of this city is the willingness of many people to step out and accept the challenges of change and growth for our small, cosmopolitan city. We need these leaders.
