To the Editor,
I am voting for Robin Krom for mayor because he is genuinely interested in Lanesboro, and wants to retain the unique nature of our community. Under his progressive approach, he will make Lanesboro a better community.
I believe he deserves another two years to continue the work he started here. Some of his accomplishements include:
• The Lanesboro Dam was included in the state’s bonding bill after he worked with our state’s legislative leaders.
• A concept plan was developed for Lanesboro, with input from more than 300 citizens. Primarily paid for from private donations, the work continues to date on fleshing out the information. He doesn’t overlook our city’s work from the past, such as the 20/20 Vision Plan and the Arts Campus Vision Plan, which are included in the Concept Plan.
• He is working on plans to tackle our major infrastructure needs, including roads, sidewalks, wastewater treatment facility and is developing a plan to fund these projects without being burdensome to its citizens.
• As a senior citizen, I am most excited about the feasibility study for senior housing options, completed in September. Work is just beginning to evaluate this more.
He is a hard worker, and is always prepared to do the job he was elected to do.
He wants to bring in new business to increase our tax base. He understands the issues of our community’s businesses.
He looks for expertise from local citizens and turns them into committed city volunteers. An added bonus is his wife, Bethany Krom, who is a devoted volunteer for Lanesboro and brings many talents to the table.
Join me in voting for Robin Krom on November 8.
