A Vision for Vestavia: Smart Growth, Safe Streets, and Strong Communities

Vestavia Hills is a community known for its excellent schools, beautiful neighborhoods, and caring people. But to keep our city thriving for generations to come, we must tackle the challenges ahead with common sense and good stewardship.

Accessible, Safer Streets and Sidewalks

Everyone should feel safe walking, biking, or driving through our city. That’s why I support expanding sidewalks, improving pedestrian crossings, and making our streets safer for families, children, and seniors alike. Good accessibility strengthens neighborhoods and keeps us connected.

Responsible Growth and Stormwater Management

We all want to preserve the beauty and livability of Vestavia. That means addressing overdevelopment and making sure we don’t sacrifice green spaces or worsen flooding issues. Better management of stormwater runoff and thoughtful planning will help protect our homes, our environment, and our quality of life.

Attracting New Business and Redeveloping Key Areas

A thriving local economy benefits everyone. I support attracting new businesses that align with our community’s character and create local jobs. Revitalizing underdeveloped areas, especially the southern section of Highway 31, will help bring new life, better services, and more opportunities for residents while protecting what makes Vestavia special.

Fiscal Responsibility Without Raising Taxes

I believe in being a good steward of your tax dollars. We must manage the city’s budget wisely to get the best return on every dollar we spend — without asking families to pay more. By focusing on efficiency and transparency, we can do more with what we have.

Strong Leadership on Boards and Committees

Our Board of Education, zoning board, and other city committees shape the future of Vestavia. I will work to ensure that only the most qualified, dedicated individuals are appointed — people who truly care about our schools, neighborhoods, and families.

Supporting Great Schools and Communities

Great schools are the heart of our community. I am committed to maintaining the strong legacy of excellence in education that makes Vestavia a place where families want to live and raise their children.

Investing in Seniors and Green Spaces

Our seniors deserve support, resources, and respect. At the same time, we must create more parks and green spaces where kids can play, families can gather, and nature can thrive. It’s about balance — honoring our past, serving our present, and protecting our future
