Why this issue matters

Clean light industry, employers, downtown businesses, marketing and tax-base diversification.

Questions candidates should answer

Industrial and commercial tax-base growth

What industries, employers or clean light-industrial uses should Greenwood try to attract, and what specific marketing or development steps would you support to expand the tax base beyond residential taxpayers?

Downtown traffic, business incentives and marketing

Would you support lower downtown speed limits, child/pedestrian warning signage, business-license incentives for new businesses, Chamber membership incentives, and a City-supported marketing page for available retail/commercial space, accommodations and investment opportunities?

What Ledge will look for

  • Specific actions rather than slogans.
  • Cost, source of funds and likely impact on tax base.
  • Which level of government or outside partner is responsible.
  • How residents can track progress after election day.
