Molly's Vision for Fayetteville.
VISION
PRIORITIES
"At the heart of my vision for Fayetteville is not just a set of predefined policies, but a commitment to dynamic leadership, continuous engagement with the community's needs, and ACTION. The role of a mayor is multifaceted, it requires leading city employees and partnerships but also an active, hands-on approach to address the city's challenges and opportunities."
ACTION ITEMS
-
Hire a full-time long-range planner to focus specifically on housing issues.
-
Implement a HOUSING FIRST mentality with regard to our unhoused community members
-
Establish the Fayetteville Tree Corps, a joint partnership between the city and residents to plant a significant number of trees in preparation of our city’s 200th birthday.
-
Elevate support for small businesses in Fayetteville by reducing bureaucratic hurdles for starting and running a small business.
-
Improve the partnership with our state’s flagship University. I will develop and implement a strategy for city and University relations that addresses both the rewards and the challenges our growing college town is facing.
-
Increase our openness and accountability while making city meetings more accessible to all residents.
