Neighbors –
I love living here in Orem. My wife Tana and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
The 26 years that Tana taught kindergarten in Orem schools also helped us to meet and interact on a personal level with so many of the amazing families that live in Orem.
The neighborhood feel of Orem is inviting. It allows us to know our neighbors and have a sense of community.
We can never lose that feeling!
One of my priorities as Mayor is to protect neighborhoods.
I believe high density housing should be kept out of our residential areas.
Over the past 10 years many residents and city officials have developed and adopted nine Strategic Neighborhood Plans. I commit to supporting these comprehensive plans for protecting our neighborhoods. As needs arise that are not currently addressed in these plans I will support reviewing and making changes as needed and on a regular basis to keep strong neighborhoods.
After all, it is your neighborhood.
Throughout my professional experience I have been a collaborator, I do that at work and I will do that as Mayor. This experience has given me the insight and skills needed to make a difference in solving these problems.
I am a strong supporter of preserving our neighborhoods and keeping Orem known as Family City, USA.
I hope to earn your vote.
Jim
