If elected, what would be your primary areas of focus?

When elected, I would focus on an appropriate development plan for the Parkade and surrounding area. This would provide economic growth for the town, bring in local jobs, increase the capabilities of our recreational and youth programs, entice future development, assist in providing relief for the Manchester taxpayer, and present a centralized place for people to gather as a community. These are the town's key  issues.
