Infrastructure / Transportation New buildings should be designed with stormwater treatment, carbon neutrality, and energy efficiency in mind. At the same time, we must ensure that development remains equitable, allowing local residents and businesses to thrive without being displaced by rising costs. Economy Supporting the growth and sustainability of local businesses in Columbia Heights is a top priority for me. As our city continues to develop, I’m committed to creating an environment where businesses can thrive and adapt. My focus will be on implementing policies and initiatives that ensure our local economy remains vibrant and resilient, providing long- term success for both business owners and the community.
