Quality affordable housing is needed both for current residents of Henry county as well as to attract new individuals into the county.
Infrastructure improvements that support quality affordable housing should be prioritized. These projects include water and sewage projects that allow neighborhoods to be built. I support the prioritization of these projects from state grant programs.
I also support programs that encourage new individuals to move into the county. For example, a fund to support and administer a workforce retention and recruitment program was established using coronavirus local recovery funds. I supported this program and would like to see additional programs like this implemented.
