The single most pressing issue facing our board is strategic planning, and this is what I intend to do about it. I aim to facilitate a transition into a post pandemic Abington where we can address the new challenges we're facing in ways that allow us to build back even stronger than we were. I'll start by listening to the various stakeholders and advocating for constituents as I prioritize preserving the character of the community. I will support fiscally prudent infrastructure improvements with a focus on sustainability.
