Thompson: Lots already done, much more to accomplish

Posted

I talked to a man in Touisset last week who told me he felt it was important to develop and foster pride in the community.  I could not agree more.  

In my two years on Council I have focused, along with my colleagues, on making sure Warren is moving forward, strengthening the pride so many residents feel for the town we love.  

 As a Council member, there are many ways to make positive changes for our community.  Hiring a new Town Manager, reestablishing funding for the Planner position and appointing an energetic and involved new recreation director keeps us moving forward.  Making infrastructure improvements and keeping the Tourister Project on track while minimizing the impact of related upgrades and repairs on local businesses and residents, as well as moving the Jamiel's Park project forward – they’re all related.  And to do it all without increasing the tax burden on residents is something we can all take pride in.

 With your support I look forward to continuing the positive changes we’ve started.  As I walk around Warren I talk to Warrenites new and old who are proud to live here, proud to be part of this strong community.
