Infrastructure / Transportation I will also prioritize promoting accessibility within our libraries, making certain that our services reach every demographic of our population, ensuring inclusivity and equal access for all community members. Infrastructure / Transportation My vision also includes a commitment to improving park maintenance and preserving open spaces, reinforcing their natural beauty. By actively collaborating with community members, I aim to pinpoint and address important needs of these spaces, ensuring our parks cater to the diverse needs of adults, families, and anyone drawn to nature and the outdoors. Criminal Justice / Public Safety As County Executive, enhancing our county’s public safety framework remains my top priority. This initiative extends beyond strengthening our police force; it includes strengthening our emergency medical services and improving 911 call center response times. By fostering strong partnerships with all facets of public safety personnel (law enforcement, paramedics, and 911 operators) I will strive to ensure they receive the comprehensive training and funding necessary for their success. Housing My plan involves focusing on responsible land use and zoning policies and a commitment to address this challenge by incentivizing collaboration with the state, private sector, and local jurisdictions. My goal is to provide more housing options for the people of New Castle County, ensuring greater access to comfortable and sustainable homes. Wages / Job Benefits As County Executive, I will be committed to nurturing an ecosystem that not only supports existing businesses but also draws new ventures to our County. The key to this vision will be a close partnership with private employers, providing them with the resources to recruit and develop local talent, crucial for fostering community prosperity.
