Infrastructure connecting our smaller communities with a larger population. Traffic of CMV within city limits. It’s important to continue the road construction in Eddy County. It’s important to assist our EM Services with licensed personnel for quicker medical assistance.
Good communication is critical and having life skills to negotiate with others for successful outcomes and responses. I have negotiated and assisted with many boards decisions for great community outcomes.
Visit with community leaders in their respected neighborhoods.
Visiting with Roswell’s state engineer is important so we can work together. Setting up meetings and negotiating some water saving plans.
