Planning for the Future
The role of government is not just about laws, rules, and regulations - it's about working to make our community a better place to live. I believe the City of Shelbyville needs to adjust to the changing times in many respects, but the unique charm and character of Shelbyville has to be preserved. This will not be accomplished by standing in the way of growth, but by promoting a smart comprehensive development plan that also supports the quaint charm and feel of Shelbyville. Our future should not include the sacrifice or compromise of emergency services, adequate roads, or parks
I believe Public Safety is governments first priority. As your councilmember, I will make sure our Police, Fire and Public Works Departments are fully funded, and have all the proper equipment they need to protect us.
As your councilmember, I will work to create a street paving schedule to be viewed on the Shelbyville city website. Public Works will assess the condition of all city owned and maintained streets using an independent paving consultant. After the condition assessment is completed, each street segment is assigned a value for "Remaining Service Life," which indicates how soon the street segment should be resurfaced. Using that information, we will be able to determine what year each street will be paved.
I will actively work to bring more Dine in Restaurant options to Shelbyville.
Working with the City of Simpsonville and Fiscal Court to create a multi-use path between Shelbyville and Simpsonville is a goal of mine. This will give our citizens more outdoor options to exercise safely and bring our citizens closer together.
While serving on the Economic Development Committee, I created a plan that offers tax incentives for 5 years to non-Industrial businesses that provide their employees an income of $45,000 or more, as long as they employ three or more people. Using this incentive, I plan to further expand the current businesses of Shelbyville.
I will work with Tourism to promote our historic town of Shelbyville to movie studios and movie producers. This will let them know Shelbyville is open for business.
My goal is to make Shelbyville a place my children would like to live, when they grow-up and raise a family
