Top priorities
• We need to consider sustainable growth, not just attainable growth. How far and fast can we grow and maintain our wonderful community?• We need to preserve the integrity of our neighborhoods. Too often we allow growth where issues of connectivity are not properly considered or planned.
• We need to become a community of greater inclusion where every citizen has a voice. We have become a community where only select voices are heard.
