I come from a proud family that has been involved in public service for as long as I can remember. I want to work for you. We have the opportunity to create Live/Work/Play Communities; identify transportation options, such as rail and fully funding Public Safety. With nearly 30 years of public service and government experience, I know what it takes to find solutions, navigate complicated governmental agencies, and get things done.
Henry County has entered into a very critical era and I believe that Henry County has to now choose where it wants to be in the future.
As your Chairwoman, I will move to develop communities that have a sense of place. Communities that will attract quality jobs, diverse populations and efficiently serve the elderly; A community that will attract white collar employers which will provide employment opportunities for the 70% of Henry County Citizens who currently have to travel into Atlanta and other areas to work; A community with Wi-Fi access and high-speed fiber countywide; An active walkable community with a great quality of life; And a community where everyone feels safe and is treated equally.
My plan includes:
✔️Going after high paying employers and create employment hubs along the I-75 corridor
✔️ Ensuring that our communities are safe by fully funding Public Safety
✔️Work with state and federal partners to lock in actual dollars for major road improvements throughout the county
✔️Work with the cities to create a countywide trail network to further improve our quality of life
✔️Ensuing high standards on all new commercial and residential developments
✔️ I will develop a better working relationship with all four of our cities building a more collaborative partnership.
✔️Ensure that we pull-through all SPLOST V projects
✔️ Work with local businesses and our educational institutions to develop youth apprenticeship and entrepreneurship programs.
