Cody on the issues
I am running for Supervisor to make sure your voice is heard. Our township faces multiple hurdles: an aging infrastructure, eminent domain, and recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. We need bold and fresh leadership that will tackle these challenges head-on.
I am ready to lead and confront these complex issues.
Open Space
East Goshen has some of the best parks and trails in Chester County. I will protect the character and landscape of these parks and look for new opportunities to expand our trail system. I oppose the current route of the Paoli Pike Trail by way of eminent domain through the Hicks property.
I will also prioritize the establishment of an Open Space program to secure parcels and development rights for permanent preservation. Similar programs have been very successful in surrounding communities. I will also attempt to work with the County’s Open Space Preservation Office to help leverage additional funds from both private and public partnerships in order to keep our taxes low and our number of open space acres high.
Fiscal Responsibility
I will hold the line on taxes. Township revenue represents your hard-earned tax dollars. Effective financial stewardship will be a top priority. As your Township Supervisor, I will be responsible with your tax dollars.
protecting our community
Our law enforcement does an incredible job protecting our community, and the men and women of our police force must have the necessary resources and training to protect us and our families. This issue is personal to me; my dad was a State Trooper for over 30 years and my brother is entering a career in law enforcement.
overdevelopment
Some of our neighboring communities have lost their special character due to overdevelopment. East Goshen cannot afford new high-density housing, and I will fight to make sure development proposals don’t adversely affect residents nor put undue strain on township services.
Sunoco
The health and safety of East Goshen residents is my top priority. I will fight alongside township, county-level, and legislative elected officials to ensure our first responders have the information they need to protect residents. I will ensure residents receive an evacuation plan in case of an emergency. I will fight to hold Sunoco to the highest safety standards; while ensuring they conduct regular inspections and have implemented every safety precaution possible.
