SMARTER GROWTH

Assemblyman Ball is working tirelessly to develop a comprehensive approach to help usher in a regional approach to growth. Our region has been overdeveloped and is suffering from an insufficient tax base created by poor and haphazard planning. As our Assemblyman, Greg is working with the business community to attract smarter, cleaner and more environmentally sound development by embracing mixed use and dynamic development of particular parcels in the 99th Assembly District. It will take years to undo what has already been done; we need to slowly begin charting a smarter course towards the future, and Assemblyman Ball is at the forefront of pushing for such change. Greg is also spearheading efforts to bring an Empire Zone to Putnam County, and hopes to use this program to attract the type of mixed use, commercial development that our community is in dire need of.
