Ensuring that every resident has access to safe, affordable housing is critical to building a strong and thriving community. Nate will work with local developers, community organizations, and government agencies to increase the availability of affordable housing options in Greenfield.

Promoting sustainable development is critical for responsible growth. Nate will encourage the development of buildings that meet green building standards, promote renewable energy, and use green infrastructure to manage stormwater.
Partnering with the Greenfield-Central School District is a great way to invest in the future of our community in Greenfield.

Moreover, it is imperative to not let the city’s growth outpace the capabilities of the school district. Nate will work in partnership with the district which will capitalize on our success.
Investing in sustainable infrastructure, such as renewable energy, green transportation, and efficient buildings, is not only important for reducing our carbon footprint but also for creating long-term cost savings and enhancing quality of life for residents.
Rebranding downtown can also involve enhancing public spaces, such as parks, plazas, and streetscapes. This can include new landscaping, public art installations, and other improvements that make the area more attractive and inviting to visitors and residents.

A strong and skilled workforce is essential for economic growth. To support this, the mayor can work with local schools and businesses to develop training and educational programs that provide residents with the skills they need to succeed in the modern economy.
One of the most important steps in addressing mental health and addiction is increasing access to mental health services. Nate will work with local health care providers and organizations to ensure that residents have access to quality mental health care and addiction treatment.

Another important step is to expand public transportation options in the city. This can include investing in public transit systems, promoting biking and walking infrastructure, and encouraging the use of electric vehicles.
Investing in green spaces such as parks, urban forests, and green roofs can help reduce the carbon footprint by capturing carbon dioxide from the air and reducing the urban heat island effect. Nate will work with local organizations and volunteers to plant trees, build parks, and create green spaces throughout the city.
Encouraging sustainable practices among residents and businesses is another key strategy for reducing the carbon footprint. This can include promoting composting and recycling programs, incentivizing the use of reusable bags and containers, and encouraging residents to reduce their energy use and water consumption.
