We plan ahead by planning together

In spite of and also because of the pandemic, this is the right time for Wakefield to develop a shared vision for the future of our Town. There are a lot of efforts both underway and just starting most notably the Vision 2030 effort being led by Councilor Jonathan Chines. I encourage everyone in Wakefield to participate. That's what my campaign is about- reaching out and helping connect each other as town members and across all our town committees.

My campaign is official! Thanks to all my friends and neighbors who offered to sign my nomination papers.

What's really exciting is all the conversations I had these past two weeks about our quality of life in Wakefield and what we hold important about our community. You shared your visions for growth, architectural beauty, walkability and safe streets, as well as your concerns about traffic, parking congestion, and even questions about future access to natural gas lines. I am running for the Planning Board to join our ideas together, to speak across town boards and committees, yes adding my two cents also, in order to build an inclusive vision looking forward.

Please share this blog and my website with others across Wakefield and email my your thoughts @ theonoellforwakefield@gmail.com . I want to continue our conversation.
