In addition, these roadways are designed to ensure development will not increase traffic on local roadways and impact the safety and quality of life in our local communities. Traffic congestion is a concern for most residents and as we continue to expand our economy I will work to ensure that residents' quality of life remains a priority. As an owner of a small business in the City of Trenton, I know first hand the importance of the County's role in the revitalization in our Capital City. As a business owner, I have a unique perspective that will allow me, as a Freeholder, to cultivate partnerships between government and the private sector to create new economic opportunities. The bottom line is, by assisting small businesses we create more jobs and exciting new opportunities.
Small businesses are the grease for the thriving economic engine of Mercer County.
With the success of Waterfront Park and the Mercer County Arena, we cannot afford to stop the progress. Quality of life. For me it encompasses everything from reduced traffic congestion, first class parks, stable property taxes, and a healthy economy with good paying jobs. It means supporting County Executive Bob Prunetti's proposed Science and Technology School to improve the quality of education for our children. As a Freeholder, I will work hard to make Mercer County a place people are proud to call home.
