Encouraging businesses to open in our Borough and supporting them as they grow would give our residents elevated access to products and services as well as the benefit of tax dollars to build and improve our community spaces. We have opportunities to grow our retail footprint, and understanding what we are providing for our current business leaders is a great way to ensure success.

Our county provides great resources, I am dedicated to understanding how we can take more advantage of these and networking with those that support our municipality.
Most residents I have spoken with are concerned about empty store fronts and what will be done with a large shopping center which was once a vibrant part of our community. Understanding what businesses want in a new location, listening to our neighbors' desires and concerns, and using large scale project management skills to plan and execute alongside of owners and developers will help ensure it thrives again.
We are not in active discussions on consolidation at this time.
Research, listen, and engage the community where they are. In-person, online, newsletters ... we have so many ways to stay updated, it is important to cover them all.
A decades long career in technology leadership and many years as a dedicated volunteer has allowed me the opportunity to learn and sharpen skills around program management, understanding and refining workflows, networking to learn and collaborate on success, and LISTEN.
