Citizens of the Year: Shirlene & Jim Jordan

Longtime Springville residents Shirlene and Jim Jordan will be honored during the 2022 Art City Days celebration as Springville’s Citizens of the Year.

Jim Jordan is a third-generation Springville resident; he met and married Shirlene Curtis in 1976, and they started the fourth generation of Jordans born and raised in Springville.

Jim opened his flooring business, Custom Carpets, off 400 South in Springville in 1996. For 25 years, he has fulfilled flooring needs for residents in Springville and the surrounding area. He is an avid golfer and faithfully supports the chamber golf scholarship tournament event each year. Last year, Jim retired and closed the doors of Custom Carpets to enjoy more time on the golf course and with Shirlene and their family.

While Jim ran their store, Shirlene cared for their children and worked in several ventures leading up to her time as executive director of the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce. Shirlene was hired by the chamber in 2014 and took on the challenge of bringing new life to the organization.

With her hard work and love for Springville and the business community, she has grown the chamber into today’s thriving organization. She continued leading the chamber and serving the Springville and Mapleton communities until her retirement at the end of 2020. Even in retirement, Shirlene continues to serve the community and is always willing to help in any capacity, especially the chamber.
