The economy: “Using well-crafted incentives for business investment will help attract and retain industries and jobs. We can continue to help prepare citizens for the changing job market through education.”

The approach: “We must create appropriate ordinances to accompany the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and I propose hiring a consultant to help staff with this large undertaking. Significant related issues exist, including the potential development of I-69. This highway will require funding the construction of frontage and connector roads and other public sector improvements in the I-69 corridor.”
