Community, Economic, and Workforce Development.
Rockford must establish itself as a sustainably growing community through collaboration and a focus on the power of our collective strengths. We must maintain a strategic mindset that flanks long standing issues, rather than relying on the same old talking points.
Together, we can put our neighbors first and remind ourselves that on every block, we are one city, leading our incredible Rockford region
EDUCATION
Education is a partnership, from the kindergarten classroom to the apprenticeship certificate to the college degree, one where schools, employers, and neighbors work selflessly together to break down barriers and build success every family can reach. Investing in childcare and early learning for our youngest residents, birth to five, is how we make sure opportunity takes root everywhere, for everyone, in Rockford.HOUSING
Stable housing helps us combat crime, drive education success, and creates generational wealth for families, it is the economic driver of our community. Rockford needs to build and preserve more than 6,000 homes over the next decade, and we start by streamlining the development process making things more predictable for builders and empowering our local developers.MENTAL HEALTH
Mental health is as important as physical health, if our children can't focus at school and our adults can't excel at work, then our community can't reach it's full potential. Whether it's for our first responders, adolescents or employers, investments in mental health uplift our workforce, our economy and neighbors on every block.
