Moorhead is growing. We see it all around us. Growth is great, but it also comes with costs. In the seven years I have served on Moorhead Planning Commission, I've learned a lot about how we can build a bright future together without leaving anyone behind. One way we can do that is to grow our property tax base by enacting policies that encourage the building of more affordable housing units. We can also do more to support our small local businesses when they are negatively impacted by construction projects like the new underpass. In addition, when we need to use special assessments to fund a major infrastructure project that benefits the whole city, those costs should be paid by everyone, not just the nearby neighbors.
