Housing As mayor, I will collaborate with our partners, including the city manager and his team, to engage with developers in order to achieve the 10,000-unit target within the designated timeframe. Arts / Culture As Mayor, I will continue to promote, sustain and/or advocate for the many arts and cultural organizations in our community. Economy In speaking with prospective companies and even companies who have newly arrived, Greensboro’s quality of life was one of the top reasons they either decided to come to Greensboro or were heavily considering coming to Greensboro. As Mayor I want to continue building those relationships so more businesses will be able to experience the gifts that Greensboro has to give. Criminal Justice / Public Safety She supports the critical GM911Public Safety division. Dispatchers are the first to speak with those who are in distress and are trained in National, State and Local Programs. Housing Our community requires single-family homes, multifamily units, and rental properties across all price points. To realize this vision, we are exploring developments that offer a diverse range of homes for purchase, apartments for rent, and transitional housing for individuals who may not yet be ready for homeownership. Additionally, attainable housing should feature innovative construction methods that comply with all relevant regulations. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Marikay is equally supportive of the Fire Department. Infrastructure / Transportation Also very important to me is the planning that goes in to developments – I have always promoted walkability, biking and proximity to parks/trails or recreation facilities for our residents. When those are not feasible, I want to make sure that transit opportunities are made and readily available. Infrastructure / Transportation Marikay believes that a modern and well-maintained Infrastructure ties in to Economic Development that brings employers to the City.
