Fort Morgan, Colorado, is about to get theHome Town Takeovertreatment!

In season 1,Home TownstarsBen and Erin Napierrolled into Wetumpka, Alabama, to restore homes, fix up businesses and reinvigorate public spaces to help the town gets back on its feet in the same way they had their own hometown of Laurel, Mississippi.

“It’s just a really cool town and it’s so much different from Wetumpka and Laurel, but at the same time, it has all of the same problems they had,” Ben tells PEOPLE, citing younger generations moving away to live in bigger cities and a lack of a thriving main street to draw tourists.

“The town has a really fascinating history, a really diverse cultural background,” he explains. “And just like any small town across America, it has these really inherent charms about it. So we want to go and help them tell that story.”

“And it’s the hometown of Glenn Miller!” adds Erin, of the legendary Big Band trombonist.

Ben is excited for another of the town’s celebrity ties. “I’m a huge Clint Eastwood fan and I just found out that part ofThe Mulewas filmed there,” he says. “I’m really excited to be in the same place that Clint Eastwood was in.”

The Marrses, who helped out on a few of projects in season 1, are stepping up this year as co-hosts.

“We’re honored that Ben and Erin asked us to join them on this project, because we got a little taste of it last year and we just really loved the show,” says Jenny, who lives in Bentonville, Arkansas, with husband Dave and their five kids. “We love small towns, and so we feel really passionate about being a part of this.”

Since they completed 12 projects in Wetumpka, Ben says, they’ve heard incredible stories of its continued resurgence.

“We hear that every building on Company Street has a business in it now. [People say,] ‘We ate at Coaches Corner. It was the best food in the world. We set out on the patio overlooking the river.’ We hear these stories and that’s the best part aboutHometown Takeover, hands down. It’s not what we did there. It’s whattheydid with what we did.”

And that’s the hope for Fort Morgan, too.

“I think there’s this energy and spirit that gets ignited with this sort of project,” says Dave. “So, even if someone may be leery of [the changes] to begin with, that energy is contagious and spreads through the town. We are going and lighting the match, but they’re going to have to keep the fire going.”
