Providing Housing, Without Sacrificing Our Rural Landscape
Imagine a future where our community remains vibrant and accessible to all, where those who keep it running smoothly – teachers, nurses, restaurant staff, firefighters, and construction workers – can not only work here but call it home.
To make housing attainable for our local workforce, we must be deliberate about what we build and where we build it. It's a balancing act – preserving our rural environment while ensuring housing is affordable.
I will continue to champion the strategies that safeguard our rural landscapes and, at the same time, make affordable housing a reality. Let's build the coalitions needed to navigate the ever-evolving fiscal and land use issues and ensure our community's long-term livability.
