Principles and Initiatives
-
We will incorporate our village identity into the planning of any new projects to preserve our charm and character.
-
We will ensure potential developments and holdover projects follow the village comprehensive plan in providing community give-backs, bolstering village revenues and enhancing our environment.
-
Differing opinions contribute to a stronger community and better decision making. We know that consensus does not mean unanimous agreement. However, we are committed to encouraging a climate where moderate views are welcomed and valued. While every voice might not align, each voice will be heard.
-
We believe in fostering an informed community, where feedback shapes policies and projects early in their development, not just in the days leading up to a public hearing. By sharing upcoming agenda topics further out in advance, we empower residents to better engage with the issues that matter. We encourage the community to provide input as policies and projects take shape, not merely in the current status quo of two days before a public hearing.
-
Our advisory boards consist of talented, dedicated members with expertise and insight crucial to our community's success. We aim to collaborate closely with these boards, ensure they represent the diverse voices of Croton, and integrate their recommendations into the decision making process.
-
We commit to a holistic approach in evaluating how simultaneous projects will interact with each other, while assessing their short and long-term impacts on infrastructure, traffic, environmental health, and social resources.
-
We have unique experience in the telecom space that will help us investigate solutions to improve essential cellular service in the most sensible and appealing way possible to balance the need for modern connectivity with a commitment to Croton’s landscape.
-
We will never become complacent in our positions so the torch of leadership can pass from passionate resident to passionate resident as the positions of village trustee and mayor were designed.
