elcome to the December edition of Messenger magazine.
Regardless of who you may have voted for in last month’s presidential election, one thing is sure: Self-storage is headed to Washington, D.C! In case you missed the news, here’s the scoop.
Congratulations to self-storage veteran Jefferson Shreve, who won the race for a seat in Indiana’s 6th Congressional District. Shreve, who spent three decades in self-storage and founded Storage Express, was recently featured in the cover story of the October issue of Messenger. This traditionally Republican seat represents central and eastern Indiana, including a strip of southern Indianapolis. It opened for the first time in about six years after incumbent Greg Pence chose not to seek re-election.
And congratulations to another self-storage veteran, Troy Downing, who will serve Montana’s 2nd Congressional District, which covers the central and eastern parts of the Treasure State. Downing, formerly the state auditor, defeated democratic challenger John Driscoll, who formerly served in the Montana State House of Representatives. He will replace fellow Republican Matt Rosendale, who decided against seeking re-election after briefly entering the race.
MSM would like to offer our best wishes to both newly elected Congressmen as they head to D.C. to make a difference!
Speaking of winning, hats off to the 2024 Facility of the Year winners! On the following pages, you will read about six exceptional self-storage facilities that won this year’s competition. Each has overcome its own unique set of obstacles and challenges to build award-winning facilities.
It is also worth mentioning that while Extra Space Storage, as a company, did not submit any entries this year, 75 percent of the entries received were for Extra Space’s third-party managed facilities! And that is a first!
As we approach year-end, the MSM team wishes you a happy holiday season and a spectacular New Year!
