Why are you running for office?
I am running to see through the completion of projects already started.
Important issues facing the city would be the wastewater treatment plant, new well, street repairs, reopening of our schools, keeping our current businesses growing, attract new businesses, and support our Public Safety during these times of hardship.
Solutions for the above are in the works. Plans for the wastewater treatment plant, new well being drilled, have done a lot of street repair already. Need to continue to repair when needed. Schools trying a hybrid solution. Businesses had opportunity to apply for a relief grant, as well as non-profit.
What do you hope to accomplish if you get elected?
Future to keep costs in check would be grants, low interest loans, fine tune budget, prioritize projects, an add to our Capitol Improvement Plan.
Improvement to downtown buildings would be to inquire funds through the EDA, if available for facelifts of buildings in need. Looking into something unique, like a pocket park, with murals. Shop locally, to support businesses!
