Ward 5 Resident, Grove City Area Progress Member, 24 years old
One of the most significant challenges facing Grove City is the lack of affordable housing. Too many young families, seniors, and working people are being priced out, and we need sustainable housing options that allow residents to live and thrive here. Another challenge is infrastructure, especially traffic and connectivity, which impacts safety and quality of life. I will work to expand affordable housing opportunities, invest in safer roads and responsible growth, and ensure residents have a real voice in shaping the future of our community.
My primary priorities are expanding affordable housing, investing in a community recreation center, improving infrastructure to ease traffic and enhance safety, and supporting small businesses. These priorities will be financed through a mix of responsible budgeting, pursuing state and federal grants, and building partnerships with local organizations. I will also ensure that new development contributes its fair share toward infrastructure and community needs so that growth benefits everyone without placing an unfair burden on residents.
Grove City was originally built for a population of about 22,000, yet we now have more than 45,000 residents and continue to grow. This rapid increase has strained both infrastructure and housing. I propose investing in road improvements, traffic management, and expanded public transit to keep the community moving safely and efficiently. On housing, we must create more affordable and diverse options so that families, seniors, and working people can live here. I will also ensure that new developments contribute to infrastructure and community needs so growth benefits everyone.
I believe government works best when residents are directly involved. I plan to hold regular town halls, listening sessions, and neighborhood meetings so people can share their concerns face to face. I will also use digital tools like surveys, social media, and newsletters to reach those who cannot always attend in person. Beyond listening, I will create clear follow-up so residents see how their input shapes decisions. By engaging community stakeholders, local organizations, and everyday residents, I will ensure that Grove City’s future is built with the voices of the people at the center.
My approach to building consensus starts with listening. I believe every stakeholder deserves to feel respected and heard, even when opinions differ. I will work to identify shared goals, focus on common ground, and bring data and community input into the conversation to guide solutions. When disagreements arise, I will encourage open dialogue, transparency, and compromise that prioritizes the best interests of residents as a whole. By creating a collaborative environment, I can help move Grove City forward in a way that reflects the values and needs of all community members.
