Arts / Culture Danielle has been part of the advisory committees to help investigate how we can maintain this historic treasure. With the 4 million grant awarded to the city with the help of Representative Mike Mueller, the city has hired an architect and work to restore the exterior of the building will begin in 2025. As a long-time Linden resident and member of the Historic District Commission, Danielle understands the importance of keeping the mill owned by the city. The condition of the mill has been a topic of discussion for nearly a decade. The restoration is the first part of the process to maintaining this icon for generations to come. Environment / Energy The current building does not have restrooms and the DPW needs a better facility for their operations. The building sits on a very nice river front lot. Our current water system has wells on the property which must be maintained. Environment / Energy Danielle, along with the previous city manager and city attorney, met with EGLE (formerly DEQ) in Lansing to advocate for the clean-up of contamination from two gas stations in downtown Linden. Both sites have been cleaned up and we maintain communication regarding ongoing mitigation efforts. Government Reform Danielle understands that people gather and retain information in different ways. Danielle wants to help educate people on how local government runs in the hope it will help them appreciate the time between an idea and project completion as well as the budget process. Danielle will continue to work with residents and business owners to find the most effective ways to give accurate information in a timely manner.
