I support moving quickly to redevelop the downtown park lands in Hastings into a true community hub - a place where people want to gather, connect, and support local businesses. Welcoming, functional public spaces support local events, bring more people downtown, and help our local businesses thrive.
I also recognize that projects like this don’t happen on good intentions alone. It will take real effort to secure funding, build partnerships, and pursue every funding opportunity available to make this vision a reality without placing unnecessary burden on taxpayers. I’m prepared to do that work because investing in a vibrant downtown is an investment in the long-term future of our community
