With growth comes opportunity – but also responsibility. Smart growth means finding ways to expand that preserve the charm of our small town while embracing innovation and sustainability. Improving public transportation is key, while continuing to enhance mobility and reduce traffic, so that we can ensure a more efficient and inclusive system that serves both current and future residents. We must carefully balance development with our unique character, ensuring that infrastructure, housing, and businesses serve current and future generations in ways that are thoughtful and forward-looking.
