Working Together And Building Partnerships
At the heart of this initiative is establishing a Green Economy to attract new business and beautify the area while promoting sustainability.
This idea is not new, everywhere this is being done the results are amazing. Cities around the country and in Kansas are realizing the benefits of sustainability and a Green infrastructure.
We only have to look at Greensburg Kansas for inspiration.
In District 3 we face many challenges do to the lack of economic development, aging infrastructure, and older homes that were originally temporary housing.
We can revitalize the district by creating an inviting commercial environment.
I will follow the proven formulas for growing an economy and revitalizing older neighborhoods.
