Economic Development

If we are to keep our residential tax assessments down, we must create better ways to generate sales tax dollars paid to Taylorsville City. We cannot afford to just be a "drive-thru city" as people are heading to other retail centers to do their shopping, dining out or attending entertainment venues in neighboring cities. We need to provide viable alternatives for them to stop or stay in Taylorsville to spend their shopping, dining and entertainment dollars.

Encouraging first class commercial economic development needs to be a top priority. For every dollar that we can earn from sales tax, that will be one less dollar our homes will need to be taxed to meet our city's operational costs.

I will be a strong advocate for economic development.
