Recognize that while the next 4 yrs may be the most exciting set of years in over a generation, Lexington is still starved for a vision that moves the entire community forward. My vision for Lexington (beginning with the 9th District) is to become known as "The Most Family Friendly place in America."

Focus on wise and progressive Planning Continued emphasis on strong Public Safety Laser focus on Prosperity (Economic Development/ Economic Opportunity) Sat, 15 Apr 2006 12:00:00 -0400 http://www.jaymcchord.com/Article3.html The following represents my observations as to some of the most pressing issues facing Lexington. These are all issues that require vision, creative problem solving, neighborhood involvement and a commitment to be a good steward of tax payer money. I believe every one of these issues should be considered through the lens of Lexington becoming more Family-Friendly. By doing so we can create greater opportunity to address and creatively solve each one.
