Most Important Issues

Updating the Borough’s 2014 Comprehensive Plan which serves as a guide for officials, residents and business owners. Initial steps have started with the appointment of an Economic Development Steering Committee consisting of business owners and residents to aid in planning a community vision for the future.

Finishing of Phase 2 of the Kulp Park Rehabilitation project upgrading the 2nd Street ball field. Improvements are being made at no additional cost to Borough residents through the successful award of three (3) individual State Grants totally nearly $1M. Upon project completion, I look forward to helping secure funding for Phase 3 centered around improving the basketball courts area. Kulp Park is becoming the hub for outdoor recreational activities.

Maintaining the traditional municipal services residents expect in a fiscally prudent approach. To analyze areas for cost savings through efficiency investments and future planning.
