GAIL ECK

I want to be your City Commissioner because I have a deep love for my community and want to be an active member contributing to future growth.  The City is embarking on several exciting projects; lakefront development, downtown revitalization, Vine Street corridor, and Shingle Creek.  These are resources we already have and must build on for our citizens before venturing into new projects.  We need to become more environmentally friendly by starting recycling programs and protecting our green spaces for future generations.  We need to become more self sustaining as a City through economic development plans helping existing businesses while bringing new businesses to the City that will provide higher paying jobs for the citizens and increase revenue to the City.
