I was attracted to Golden by the sheer magnificence of the
mountains, the natural beauty of the valley, and the abundance of outdoor
activities. I enjoy driving the windy road through the canyon, but am aware
that most people do not. To made Golden more attractive, I would advocate strongly for the completion of HWY1
through the canyon.
Many fine facilities already make Golden attractive. Going
forward, the challenge is to find the money to support these facilities without
reducing the services that make Golden such a great place to live, and without
astronomical increases in property taxes.
At the end of my four year term as your Mayor, you can
expect to see the following changes to attract new residents and businesses to
Golden;
- An Updated Official Community Plan reflecting and supporting both residential and commercial needs.
- An Economic Development model that is effective and affordable.
- A new spirit of cooperation and a sense of partnership between Golden and Area A.
- A strong financial position with adequate reserve funds based on long-term strategies and sound asset management principles.
I was always taught you should leave a place better than you
found it. I will strive to do just that.
