To continue planning for growth and embracing the future while preserving the past and the amenities that make Los Alamos County a great place to live
Three critical focus areas — housing development, downtown revitalization, and community services — are important to Los Alamos County residents in the immediate future to support growth and preserve quality of life.
The County's Housing Market Needs Analysis identified the need for some 2000 additional housing units, particularly low- and middle-income housing, for rent and for ownership. I support the revised Development Code, the updated Affordable Housing Plan, and ongoing County efforts to explore all housing options and all possible building sites to meet community needs.
Downtown revitalization, in Los Alamos and in White Rock, is essential for a thriving community. I support the establishment of Metropolitan Redevelopment Areas and County policies and processes that facilitate small business development and sustainability to expand employment, shopping, and social activities necessary for a well-rounded community.
Diverse and accessible community services contribute to the quality of life that County residents value and want to preserve as the County grows. I support enhanced maintenance and upgrades to infrastructure, utilities, broadband, roads, public transportation, parks and recreational facilities, trails and open spaces, and state-funded school facilities.
