Empowering Strategic Growth

Strategic planning is the key to smart, sustainable growth and every decision should connect back to that plan. It is imperative to use strategic planning to drive economic growth that attracts new businesses and opportunities while preserving the character of our neighborhoods. I will empower strategic growth through planning with a clear vision, a defined timeline, and measurable goals that keep us accountable to the community.

Protecting Downtown Development

I love downtown Rome and like many of you, I consider it to be the heartbeat of the community. I will protect this vital asset of Rome by ensuring a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where both locals and visitors can enjoy all that downtown has to offer. I will also help attract new businesses by pursuing opportunities such as foundation funds and local grants, fueling growth while protecting the charm that makes Rome special.

Improving Community Relationships

Rome has a lot to offer as a community and we have a great story to tell. I believe we should tell it! Our city should use social media and other tools to celebrate its progress, share decisions openly, and keep our community informed. I will improve community relationships by listening to stakeholders, communicating clearly to build trust, and collaborating with the many talented people that serve and support Rome.
