Plymouth has always been the place I've called home. I grew up here, went to school here, played sports here, coached here and laid down roots here to raise my family. I love this community and have worked tirelessly the last 4 years to do what I can to see Plymouth succeed. I want our small town to be a great place to live, work and raise a family. As my kids grow up, I want them to be proud to call this place home. I imagine a Plymouth that becomes the kind of community where more people grow up and want to stay, plant roots, raise their families or even start a business.

​

But as much as I love this town, I also know it needs work. My administration has so much underway and I'm hopeful the next two years we will be able to see through some big projects that I'm hopeful will make a huge difference for our residents. Some of the things we're currently working on are:

​​

• Moving from the planning stage to the implementation phase of Downtown Revitalization. Looking to identify developers for key lots for redevelopment and construction will soon start on an expanded streetscape to make our downtown more accessible and aesthetically pleasing. 

• Working diligently to improve the condition of our roads. No one likes pot holes or cracking pavement - I'm well aware that many of our streets need to be redone. We have increased our annual road maintenance budget by 43% and the $6 million bond package for improvements that was just approved will help us begin even more work next year.

• Continuing to clean up or remove blighted buildings and rundown properties to enhance the look of our downtown and neighborhoods. We have made progress, but there are some long standing issues that need to be resolved that we are in progress of enforcing. 

• Completing the sale of the final Plymouth Business Park lots that are currently under contract, bringing new jobs and tax revenue to town.

 

When I first ran for mayor 4 years ago, I knew I couldn't do everything I ambitiously set out to within 1 term - but I'm looking to do all I can with the time I'm given - keeping my eyes forward and my mind set on a promising vision for Plymouth's future. I'm excited what we can accomplish together!
