Vision:
Our community is rich with people, organizations, businesses, and projects committed to environmental and energy sustainability. As mayor, I have received more comments, questions, and ideas that fit into this larger theme than any other. Renewable energy, local foods, preparing for a post peak-oil world, green space, bike share programs, energy conservation initiatives, climate change – they’re all part of this conversation. What would be possible by connecting projects, people, businesses, and ideas to intentionally focus on more sustainable living in Harrisonburg and the central Shenandoah Valley?

I believe bringing this community of people together, to share opportunities, find synergies, and build relationships would be a valuable and important step towards making a more sustainable regional lifestyle a reality. I believe there are opportunities for existing projects to find partners, new ideas to attract steering committees, and unknown possibilities to be discovered.
