Our community has made some progress, but we have much work yet to do. Rising prices are an indication of our community’s popularity, but it also makes it challenging for folks like our teachers and firefighters to live where they work. We should investigate additional creative actions, including partnering with housing organizations as well as finding other methods to support home ownership.
Our growth over the past decade has brought much positive and some negative change. As we implement our next Comprehensive Plan update, we must obtain input from diverse sets of stakeholders to ensure future growth is sustainable and supported by our citizens.
Traffic: Verona’s tremendous growth, exacerbated by DOT construction projects that divert traffic onto our local roads, has impacted travel times, especially at peak hours. Longer-term solutions are being evaluated as part of our Comprehensive Plan, with extensive citizen engagement weighing costs and benefits of alternatives.
Housing Affordability: discussed previously.
Cost of Living: The City of Verona is striving to keep our portion of the property tax rates as low as possible by carefully vetting new programs and capital expenditures.
As an infrastructure consultant, I’ve spent over 25 years working with communities that face significant municipal difficulties. While Verona is in a relatively enviable position due to the foresight of our predecessors, I look forward to applying my experience to the challenges and opportunities my family’s hometown faces.
After spending almost two years on the Common Council, I've become more familiar with the competing priorities we have to juggle, and more willing to speak up strongly for my constituents.
