1. The Budget
2. The Mega Site and Sewer Line.
1. The action with the budget would be to sit down with all interested parties to make sure all tax dollars are spent wisely and in the best interest of the County. Also, I would work diligently to access all Federal and State dollars to benefit the citizens of Lorain County.
2. I will be transparent on any and all dealings with the proposed Mega Site and Sewer Lines to ensure that the public is included in discussions.
Making sure that we preserve our rural areas and work with the Federal and State agencies to clean up our Brownfield sites for future development.
I would try to engage all parties from K-12 schools, LCCC, LCJVS, Labor Unions, apprenticeship programs, and both private and public sector businesses, so that we have a prepared workforce for the end user to grow. We also need to make sure that all partners are communicating, ensuring we are ready for the changing times and ever-advancing technologies to help grow our business base.
