Accomplishments for the township while in office:

• Completed the first comprehensive rezoning plan in 20 years to guide responsible development and limit warehousing

• Initiated the preservation of hundreds of acres of open space using monies collected from our Open Space Income Tax

• Hired six full-time Colonial Regional Police Officers to strengthen community safety

• Upgraded and expanded township parks, including new walking trails, playgrounds, and a splash pad, funded entirely by grants and developer fees

• Revitalized community life with events like the annual Christmas Tree lighting, Easter Egg Hunt, and “Dogs Day Out” and reestablished the summer park program

• Advanced key infrastructure improvements, including the Butztown Rd./Route 191 (currently under construction) and Newburg Rd./Route 191 intersections (currently set to begin construction in 2026), as well as paving miles of township roads each year.

• Maintained the lowest township property tax rate in the Nazareth area and the 6th lowest in Northampton County
