Matt Johnson appears to work in real estate investment and community development through The Better Way Project, which is the local group now involved with the Fort Dodge sports complex. A recent article describes The Better Way Project as a group of local real estate investors, and quotes Johnson as one of its leaders.

What he does

  • He is involved in the ownership and management side of the facility takeover and rebranding effort.
  • The group says it is focused on local investment, sports tourism, and economic development in Fort Dodge.

Best read on his role

From the available reporting, Johnson is not presented as a sports operator or facility employee; he is presented as part of the investor/owner group behind the project. That means his living likely comes from real estate investing and related business activities rather than from the sports complex itself.

One important note

There is also another Matt Johnson in the same region who was named CEO of Loring Hospital in Sac City in 2023, so the name alone can be confusing. But the Matt Johnson tied to the Fort Dodge sports complex is the one associated with The Better Way Project and local real estate investment.
