Infrastructure is always a major concern for our town as it impacts all citizens. Working with council members to ensure that we stay ahead of issues with our infrastructure along with preparing for future growth. Being proactive rather than re-active as much as possible by setting aside funds to carry out needed improvements as deemed necessary.
Attracting new business and housing that are suited for our town is something that will help our town grow and prosper.
Striving to maintain our current tax rate which is one item that affects all citizens. Being a member of the council we have worked together to maintain our current tax rate of 0.12.
