This post is paid for by Newcomb for Teton County.
Mark Newcomb has a list of his priorities here:
1. The critical and time-sensitive need to pass clear and effective zoning rules and development standards to implement the 2012 comprehensive plan. Good LDR’s will support our core community values: conservation, growth management, quality of life and a rational business environment. I have hands-on working knowledge of the old and new comprehensive plan. I can move us through the adoption of critical new LDRs to help us achieve a vision that works for all and respects our special setting.
2. Address and advance workforce housing–the right housing in the right places supports our quality of life. I can help us achieve housing 65% of our workforce.
3. Hire and retain capable, hard working county staff—most of the almost $40 million county budget goes to human resources; we rely on their skill and diligence.
4. Help establish a transportation plan that reflects our community values, fosters steady improvements in START Bus system, completes local pathway loops such as the South Park Loop connector and ensures our ability to respond quickly and effectively to catastrophes.
5. Capitalize on my rapport with other commissioners – of either party – to quickly ramp up and effectively address the myriad other issues our commissioners handle on a week-to-week basis.
