I have worked/volunteered as Chief Judge of Stanley Precinct 43 for many years, but have never held public office.
1. Should Stanley ever consider allowing a public vote on alcohol sales again?
This decision would have to be made by the voters.
2. What can Stanley do to attract business/industry?
We need to work together with the entire county to encourage new industry to locate here. Lets face it, new jobs opening anywhere in the county will benefit all of Gaston County.
3. How can Stanley keep young people engaged and keep them from moving away?
We must work to improve schools in the Stanley area, bring fire and rescue up to par with our fine police department, encourage small businesses that bring needed services.
