Opportunities

When we Take advantage of key opportunities to build for the future ...

Moving to Jasper from Memphis was a business opportunity for Kevin Callahan. A longtime car dealer and businessman, Kevin had absolute confidence in his ability to succeed selling cars in our area. His only concern was that he and his wife, Pam, could make Walker County home and become a part of the local community. “As an outsider coming into the community, I have come to realize that in Jasper and our area, we have a much better product to sell than I think many who have lived here for years realize.” 
​
Kevin sees a bright future for Walker County. While our leaders will have challenges in the days to come, he believes there is a strong core support group of people and organizations who will assist and advise them on the correct path. The area has such a rich history of perseverance and a great future with the right people using the resources that are available. He believes the Foundation is one of our greatest resources.

“The respect the Foundation has from people in the area is evident anywhere you go in Walker County. I think every municipality in Walker County looks to the Foundation for guidance on some level. The ability of the staff to take an idea or suggestion and execute it at the highest level on all fronts is spectacular, and the board is made up of people who have no personal gain to be had by their involvement. They serve 100% because they have a love for the area and a desire to see Walker County succeed in the future.” Kevin Callahan

We are Poised for Greatness
