Balancing the Needs of New Development with the Character of Mulberry

Balancing new development with the preservation of our neighborhood’s character is essential to keeping Mulberry a place we are proud to call home. Growth is important, but it must be managed thoughtfully. New developments should complement the existing community, not overwhelm it or change its character.


I believe this balance can be achieved by ensuring that any new projects are aligned with our city’s long-term vision and are developed with input from the community. It’s crucial that residents have a voice in the process, so we can shape developments that reflect our shared values and preserve the unique feel of our neighborhoods.


Additionally, I would work to ensure that new developments are accompanied by the necessary infrastructure improvements to avoid putting undue strain on our roads, schools, and services. We should also prioritize projects that enhance quality of life—whether through green spaces, walkability, or community amenities—so that growth contributes positively to the overall character of Mulberry.


By fostering a collaborative approach and being selective with the types of developments we bring into the city, we can maintain the charm and integrity of our neighborhoods while allowing for responsible growth.
