Working for Residents
For the past 20 months, I have worked to help our residents with a variety of issues neglected by the current township administration.
One of these is the Scannell (FedEx) impact on the Lynns Road residents. The developer has not met it’s obligations and this development has negatively impacted the resident’s quality of life. I have met with the residents and county officials to push for a solution.
I will move to implement needed changes on day one of my term. Restoring civility and professionalism to the township board. Moving us in the right direction.
