PRIORITIES

Economic Development and Business Growth

Building a Brighter Future for Spring Lake: Together, we'll shape an economic landscape that beckons new businesses with efficient processes and rewarding incentives. By hand-in-hand collaboration with the Greater Sandhills Chamber of Commerce and Cumberland County Economic Development, we're committed to bolstering our current enterprises. I pledge to innovate through public-private partnerships, opening doors to promising investments and employment opportunities, all while ensuring a thriving and sustainable economic horizon. 

Infrastructure Enhancement

Revitalizing Our Foundations in Spring Lake: Our mission is clear – to prioritize transformative infrastructure projects that uplift the very essence of our community. From improved roadways and robust public transportation to upgraded utilities and state-of-the-art community facilities, we aim to enhance every resident's quality of life. We'll ensure every dollar is used effectively through dedicated efforts to harness funds - from grants to federal programs and public-private collaborations. And with the power of technology and innovation, we'll set new benchmarks in infrastructure management and maintenance. 

Youth Empowerment and Engagement

Empowering the Future of Spring Lake: Our youth are not just tomorrow's leaders but today's influential voices. We're taking bold strides by expanding the Spring Lake FTCC H.O.P.E. program, ensuring every young individual has abundant educational and career pathways. By fostering powerful alliances with local schools and organizations, we're paving the way for enriching mentorships, internships, and apprenticeships. And we believe in the vibrant insights of our youth, which is why we're championing their involvement in local government decisions through advisory committees and immersive community initiatives.
