1) Business Growth in Frederick:
I have a two-pronged plan to invite both large and small businesses into Frederick. I will give tax incentives to bring new high-tech industries to Frederick so that they can provide higher paying jobs. This will bring more money into our community helping out the existing businesses by increasing the money spent throughout the Frederick business infrastructure. Secondly, I will help out any existing and fledgling small businesses by getting together an on-line database of marketing lists, direct mail lists and other marketing tools to distribute free-of-charge to all Frederick businesses. I will make Frederick the Gateway to the Technology Corridor by building upon our great technology base already here!
2) Smart Development and Annexations:
Annexations are key to lowering Frederick taxes. Without additional revenue streams, everyone will be forced to pay more for less services! That said, we need to do it the smart way. Special care and attention have to be made to make sure traffic doesn’t flood residential areas or our existing roads. We need more revenue but not at the expense of our city’s great persona! I strongly believe there’s always a way to make it work for everyone. It’s simply a matter of wanting to find that way and a willingness to work with others.
3) Downtown Parking:
People want to go downtown, they just don’t know where to park! Did you know there are actually 4 parking garages downtown, not just 3? Too many newcomers and long-time residents alike don’t know that we have a 4th parking garage. Why is this? Signage! You can’t see ‘em, you can’t read ‘em, and half the time you don’t even know they’re there! I have a simple solution: make them stand out but still fit in with the old-town architecture! There’s no reason why people should have to stop and squint to see a street sign in Frederick. Surely there’s a better way!
