Northville is one of those places that quickly becomes part of you, and you a part of it. The next few years will be critical to the future of Northville. I want the conversations we are having today become a reality tomorrow.

We must invest in our community spaces. We should finally make our plans for Ford Field a reality. An enhanced Ford Field will be a community gathering point for years to come. This includes improving the baseball diamond, creating a new city entrance, updating the playscape, adding bathrooms, a pavilion, gardens, and enhanced lighting. We should expand this community space with a new River Walk extending from Ford Field all the way through future Northville Downs development, daylighting the portions of the river currently underground.
I believe Northville should continue to grow while being true to who we are. Northville has a rich history and we must maintain our city’s identity while supporting new development. Northville is going to have to make some tough decisions about the Downs project in the near future. We need to make sure we are considering the impact on schools, traffic, parking, green space, and the day to day lives of the citizens of Northville.
I will support our thriving downtown. We need to support our local business owners as they continue to invest in our downtown. Let's make it as easy as possible for our businesses to grow and succeed.
We must plan for the future. We must invest in our aging infrastructure, particularly our roads, sidewalks, and drainage systems, while embracing new technologies that will give our city a more sustainable future.
I believe in transparent, interactive government. I believe our City Council should act as stewards of our City's financial health.
Northville should welcome all citizens who would like to get involved to improve our city. I promise that I will always be available to discuss current issues, gather feedback and make sure we are proactively responding to the needs of the community.
