I'm proud of the work we've done over the past two years, but we still have a long way to go. Here is my focus for the next two years:
Making downtown safer and more accessible

• ​Continue to support pedestrian engineering studies and recommendations
• Implement key points in the Age Friendly Clinton County Action Plan
• Work with safety services to give them the resources they need to keep residents safe

Encouraging tourism and quality of life

• Lead the charge to support local organizations working to bring people to Wilmington
• Continue to enhance and improve our hotel lodging tax grant process
• ​Increase funds to our excellent parks

Tackle local problems head on

• With local organizations, examine homelessness locally and start discussing it as a solvable problem
• Ensure our EMTs and police are provided with resources to engage with those struggling with addiction or homelessness
