As Mayor, I will promote Piqua: We have 20% lower electric rates, many small supportive industrial shops, and an expereinced work force. Our public schools have the highest rating. We have wonderful parochial schools, Upper Valley JVS, Edison State Community College, a 13+ mile Linear Park, indoor mall, and new movie theater. Our award winning downtown features the restored Fort Piqua Plaza, housing a new library, ballroom/banquet rooms, Winan's coffee/candy, and ToonPWiggins restaurant.
