Continue investments in community infrastructure including our parks, libraries, paving, sidewalks and streetscapes
Increase focus on homelessness/panhandling reduction through the expansion of shelter-to-housing initiatives and continued funding of the ‘Another Way’ day work program
Future proof our workforce through investments in training and education
Build upon recent economic development wins including GE Appliances North American Headquarters, Foxconn Technology Corp, Stellar Snacks and many others
Build on initial partnerships with JCPS, focusing on public safety information sharing and identifying ways to utilize schools to deliver community services such as adult education programs
