Accmplishments Blue Ash

Looking back on my first term on City Council, I’m proud to say that I was part of the team that delivered for our neighbors.

Renewed Towne Square Park and added MadTree at Summit

Delivered a redeveloped Towne Square Park that is great not only for our summer concert series but is an asset for the neighborhood year round.  Brought MadTree Parks and Rec to Summit Park to provide a fun destination for families, parkgoers, and business users.

Careful Budgeting and Strong Relationships with Business Community Rewarded by Moody's

Despite the lingering effects of COVID on Blue Ash payroll tax collections, the city has continued to see increasing revenue.  Combined with our strong balance sheet and a reputation for smart fiscal policy, Moody’s upgraded our bond rating to AAA.

"Little Things" Add Up to Great Place to Live

Adding two of our neighbors to city boards, providing strong parks and recreation, excellent city services, and paving miles of streets in our ward are just some of the “little things” that lead 98.1% of residents to say that they are satisfied with Blue Ash and for Niche to name us the Best Place to Live in Ohio.

Opportunities for Blue Ash

Blue Ash is a great town but it didn’t get that way on accident.  In order to keep our community strong we need to focus in the near term on three key opportunities.

Continue Investment in City Amenities

Blue Ash is known for great amenities from our golf course, to our athletic fields, to our Rec Center and pool.  We must continue to invest in maintenance and, when needed, refresh and refurbish them to serve another generation of residents.

Ensure Blue Ash Remains a Premiere Commercial Office Location

Since the pandemic, demand from offices has changed dramatically.  Blue Ash must continue to work proactively and aggressively to ensure that it meets the needs of employers.  Offices will be filled not only because they great buildings, but also because Blue Ash continuing to be a place where officer workers want to live, work, and play.

Minimize any Impact of Work From Home on City Services

People working from home has already had a negative impact on the city budget.  Depending on what happens in the courts that impact could grow. City Council must make smart decisions to minimize the impact on citizens and position our town for a comeback.
