Louisville's Small Town Character
​
I am committed to preserving Louisville's superpower - its small town character! To me, that superpower is reflected in:
​

• Our agricultural & mining roots

• Old Town's charm

• Our Open Spaces, parks, and trails

• Our deep commitment to sustainability and the environment

• Our spirit of volunteerism and collaboration

• Safe neighborhoods and friendly neighbors

• Our community events, such as Street Faire and Labor Day Parade

• The diversity of our restaurants

• The entrepreneurship of our business community - Downtown, in DeLo, off McCaslin or South Boulder Road, in Centennial Valley or the Colorado Tech Center

• The dedication of our educators and the excellence of our schools

• Our careful stewardship of tax dollars and delivery of City services

• The high quality and responsiveness of our City Staff Members

​
We should celebrate and preserve those components of Louisville's superpower even as its small town character evolves to include:
​

• Greater sustainability in land use, commerce, industry, while fostering an economy that remains open to business

​

• Economic Recovery to ensure that our businesses flourish and generate revenue sufficient to provide the services and amenities residents expect

​​

• Increased inclusion of those who, in the past, have felt less welcome in our midst as neighbors, visitors, customers, colleagues, or classmates

​​

• More creative approaches to increase our supply of affordable and senior housing
