1. Additional connectivity pathways.
2. A new public safety facility for fire and EMS
3. Services & infrastructure which enhance community living for families, young professionals and seniors.
All these initiatives require long-term planning and funding. Thus, I would include them in the Township's annual strategic planning session and budget planning. Additional connectivity pathways requires collaborating with the Assistant Township Manager, who oversees the Township Road program. Fire and EMS would be included in the planning process for a new facility as well as other key community stakeholders. Improving services and infrastructure (such as Meadow field), necessitate community input and grant funding.
Despite the diversity of perspectives on the Council, we embrace data-driven decision making and are fiscally responsible in our strategic planning. Thus, we have successfully come to a consensus on significant issues through rational and logical discussion and by consulting with the Township staff on the financial, legal, and regulatory impacts of project implementation.
