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.
