What makes you a great candidate for the Planning and Zoning Commission?
I think I’m a great candidate for this potion because I’ve lived in Monroe for over 30 years, I know and love this town very much and I want to help it grow responsibly with various businesses in order to keep taxes at bay or possibly lower them in the future. I utilize my construction background to help me envision and read site plans for future projects.
