SO WHAT'S NEXT?
Hey, Arcola.
Now that we've been able to make numerous infrastructure improvements - and that's always ongoing - I guess you may ask:
SO WHAT'S NEXT???
This next term will focus on Commercial growth as well as continuing our efforts toward strengthening our Community Engagement. I'm looking forward to Community and Family-focused activities - at the Wellness Park and the new Community Center (coming Summer 2027) - that bring us all together.
We have already held pre-development meetings for over 20 new businesses seeking to come to our City. Can you believe that? ARCOLA is the SPOT where developers are seeking to bring their business!! Sounds like a DESTINATION CITY in the making to me!! It is SO EXCITING to witness the transformation of our City - with businesses and services right here in our own Community. You can hear about some of the potential businesses at our next City Council meeting on May 12th. Come out and join us.
My opponent has said that Commercial growth is the most important thing for our City. Well... we're doing that! So, maybe he'll finally give us credit for doing "something " positive, right?... Naaahhh... But I hope you all see the growth and the improvements. While we may have invested more funds than any other administration ever has, the City has more assets than it's ever had, and it's in the BEST Financial position EVER. Such positioning is a culmination of the work that all the previous administrations have done and contributed. That's how we GROW - by continuing to Move Forward, not backwards. So, I'm hoping you will take a chance on this Williams Administration for another 2 years as we continue to pursue our Destination - Together!!
Take Good Care, Arcola.
