About UsCaldwell 20/20 began as a community leaders steering committee in 2008. The committee developed a community consensus strategy through the efforts of professional economic development consulting firm, Market Street Services (Atlanta, GA). The strategy suggested a full-time executive manage the 20/20 process. Local newspaper publisher, Deborah Murray, was recruited for the job based on her high level of involvement in the community, particularly her role as co-chair of the 20/20 effort and past involvement in economic development activities.
