Top 10 Reasons to Vote for Val
Public Safety and Traffic Calming
Public safety and traffic calming are the #1 concern of City residents and therefore are a top priority for me.
A Thriving Downtown
Major new construction is beginning downtown as a result of zoning changes that were carefully designed to encourage redevelopment in the north and south areas of the triangle while preserving Main Street's cherished appeal.
