Economy City Center also needs to become associated with our collective understanding of “downtown Oshkosh.”  If you look at a map, it’s a huge piece of property that practically spans the entire space between the Main and Jackson St. bridges.  That’s why the Jackson St. bridge is so important.  It’s easy to think of Caramel Crisp, Mara’s, and the other businesses in that corner as part of downtown since they’re a stone’s throw away from Main St., but we need to encourage other businesses to bring their workers into the rest of City Center, and realize that Jackson St. truly is an entrance into downtown. Housing My position on affordable housing is best articulated by Councilman Buelow.  To paraphrase from his platforms: “I believe all of our community members should have access to safe, affordable and dignified housing…We will need creative solutions like accessory dwelling units, and tiny-homes.  We also need new housing developments that offer units at a variety of price-points, and multi-use building structures that support office, commercial, and housing units.”. Economy The Ashland mural walk is one of the finest in the state, and it’s done with complete respect to the architecture.  There are materials that can be applied to bricks before they’re painted that both protect building facades and can serve to preserve the artwork in the future when it needs to be moved.  It’s all a matter of thinking 50 years ahead, not just five.  . Economy I can’t be a candidate who supports the revitalization of downtown if I’m not working to make parcel maintenance easier to do, and the City more inviting to work with.  I want to see a 2024 revision date on all of our code documents next year, don’t you?
