Since his appointment in February 2026, Jason Zimmerman has been at the helm of Stillwater’s community development efforts. With roots in the Twin Cities’ west side, Zimmerman brings a deep understanding of the region’s dynamics to his role.
Central to his agenda is the development of a Comprehensive Plan that will guide Stillwater’s growth over the next two decades. This plan emphasizes sustainable development, preservation of the city’s historic charm, and active community participation.
Zimmerman collaborates closely with city officials and residents to ensure that the plan reflects the community’s aspirations. His proactive approach aims to balance modernization with the preservation of Stillwater’s unique character.
Residents are encouraged to engage in the planning process by attending public meetings and providing feedback. This collaborative effort seeks to create a roadmap that aligns with the community’s vision for the future.
