LETTER: Pay is 'leading the way'

Over the past four years the direction of our city has been changed forever. Problems that have been ignored for decades are now being tackled by Mayor Pay and the current City Commission.

Mayor Pay is leading the way in rebuilding our city street by street. I believe these streetscape and infrastructure projects will play a big part in our future economic development and tourism opportunities in addition to increasing our quality of life and property values. My hope is Taylorsville continues to be rebuilt and improved and Mayor Pay is committed to doing just that.

Look around and see all that has been accomplished in just four years. It is clear that this is a city on the move and Mayor Pay is the driving force behind it. He has shown his ability to work with both state and federal agencies on grant projects like the floodwall, drainage, streetscapes and emergency preparedness projects and continues to work with the county on inter-local agreements to save us money and improve services.

Mayor Pay is a big supporter of Economic Development, Tourism and the Main Street Program and shares a vision of making Taylorsville and Spencer County a destination and a great place to live, work, play and visit. And most importantly he understands the dynamics of these volunteer driven programs and will be instrumental in working to evolve these into a more unified and coordinated effort.

This City Commission is moving Taylorsville forward on many fronts. It is not just the new sidewalks, landscaping and streetlights. They have addressed every issue we have over the last four years and I ask that you support Mayor Pay and like minded Commissioners this November to continue to lead Taylorsville forward.

Vote for Mayor Pay and let’s see what we can accomplish in another four years!
