Where does economic development fall on your list of priorities for the City of Piqua ? If elected, what role would you play on this area?

Being a small business owner in Piqua I understand how the development of our city can help our community. We must maintain a strong school system and police force to attract more business to our community. I will work with the necessary Piqua officials to maintain and strengthen our current school system as well as the safety of our community.
