April Newsletter

Written By Anna Carley

We are a group of people who are looking to make our city better for all.  As part of the Strong Towns movement, we align with the following five core campaign ideas.

  • Safe & Productive Streets

  • Transparent Local Accounting

  • Incremental Housing

  • End Parking Mandates and Subsidies

  • End Highway Expansion

These goals achieved through active participation in civic forums, activities, and group activities.

Who had more fun at Commission Night out? The citizens or the Commissioners?
