Roman Forest’s biggest needs are zoning, better drainage, and protecting home values. We are already working on zoning, and I am committed to getting that across the finish line. By improving infrastructure and ensuring safety, we can preserve our community’s character and keep property values strong.
Be aware, observant and involved in our growth. Monitor the development and strains of our limited infrastructure and budget. Have fiscal responsibility, transparent governance and putting the needs of residents first. I am committed to doing what’s right, ensuring that decisions support the well-being and future of Roman Forest. Roman Forest’s growth can be a blessing if managed, but without proactive planning it will outpace police, roads, and drainage. The measures needed are balanced growth management: stronger infrastructure investment, fiscal responsibility, and policies that protect the “quiet wooded residential” character while supporting modern needs.

Flood damage prevention—Drainage studies and codes and standards need updating to protect property in and outside the floodplain from loss.

Families are concerned about rising taxes. Elderly residents are on fixed incomes and cannot afford the rising tax rate. Responsible and reasonable spending needs to be addressed, and we need to be held accountable. For example, we are still paying for a drainage project that hasn’t solved the problem.
Our population is growing very fast, but the answer isn’t higher taxes or poor planning. The answer is responsible growth. We need a workable efficient plan for growth without wasting taxpayer money.
