My Top Issues

Economy

I will support our thriving downtown. We need to support our local business owners as they continue to invest in our downtown. Let's make it as easy as possible for our businesses to grow and succeed.

Economy

We need to make sure we are considering the impact on schools, traffic, parking, green space, our business district and the day to day lives of the citizens of Northville. We must work toward a south bound exit out of the Downs (Griswold extension over Johnson Creek). This will reduce traffic flowing on to Center Street and into the Bealtown neighborhood.

Environment / Energy

We must invest in our community spaces. We must make our plans for Ford Field a reality. An enhanced Ford Field will be a community gathering point for years to come. This includes improving the baseball diamond, creating a new gateway/park entrance, updating the playscape, adding bathrooms, a pavilion, gardens, stabilizing the river bank, and enhanced walkways and lighting.

Government Reform

I promise that I will always be available to discuss current issues, gather feedback and make sure we are proactively responding to the needs of the community.

Taxes / Budget

In the coming year we need to investment in our Pension Fund and raise the total from 116% to a fully funded 120%. This will result in an additional 1M in annual cash flow for the city going forward!
