Jason Zimmerman, who joined Stillwater as the Community Development Director in early 2026, is leading the city’s efforts to guide future growth and development. With a background rooted in the Twin Cities area, Zimmerman brings a deep understanding of regional dynamics to his role.
Since his appointment, Zimmerman has been actively involved in updating the Comprehensive Plan, a strategic document that will influence Stillwater’s development over the next two decades. This plan addresses various aspects of community growth, including land use, housing, transportation, and economic development.
Zimmerman emphasizes the importance of community engagement in this process. “I work with a very enthusiastic and team-oriented group of people in City Hall,” he noted. “It’s been easy to step in and build on their positive thinking for the future of Stillwater.”
Residents are encouraged to participate in public meetings and provide feedback on proposed initiatives. This collaborative approach aims to ensure that the city’s development aligns with the needs and aspirations of its community members.
