My Platform
-
See to completion the many projects that I have started in my first term. The $6.5 million project at the Waste Water Plant. The completion of the Kingdom Road Pump Station and Sewer line Project; Drainage Projects throughout the Town and over $20 million dollars of improvements at the Water Treatment Plant. All of these projects will be completed with a combination of grants, reserves, and zero per cent bonding at no additional cost to the tax paying community.
-
Continue to work with the Board to reduce taxes without cutting services and public safety.
-
Continue to restore downtown. With the Micro Enterprise Grant that I facilitated, 6 new businesses will be starting in Seneca Falls. Each new business will be getting anywhere from $23,000 to $35,000 in free money. Once this session is completed, we will be applying for another grant to encourage even more growth.
-
Develop a plan for the Van Cleef Lake and the Seneca/Cayuga Canal revitalization. The planning was made possible with another grant that I facilitated. A Community committee will have the opportunity, with the assistance of the entire community, to bring to reality our vision for this area, including Fall Street.
-
Continue to foster relationships with the federally recognized leaders of the Cayuga Nation.
-
Build a new, indoor sports facility for our young people and their families. Soccer, basketball, pickle ball and the many other activities it could be used for including regional tournaments.
-
Create all types of new housing including condos, affordable housing, and upscale apartments. Many of the older members of our community would like the opportunity to move into a single level condo and not worry about mowing grass or shoveling snow. Many hardworking families need an affordable place to live which can become a reality with just having the opportunity to own their house and not pay rent for a run-down facility or house.
