Roanoke 360

Roanoke 360 is about engaging every citizen to build ONE strong Roanoke. Below are ideas from the citizens of Roanoke and best practices from cities around the country. Which do you like? I will donate half of my salary as Mayor to help make it work!

Support ways we can do more to promote urban micro-farming

Invest in upgrading the city's information technology so to realize increased efficiencies

Focus on a tourist attraction similar to Charleston's Festival of Lights in Old Southwest during the Holidays

Find ways to reduce homelessness in the region, maybe through ideas such as increased skills training

Ensure we are investing in infrastructure upgrades and repairs which are more environmentally sound

JOBS

Upon listening to the citizens of Roanoke, it is no secret what is most important. Many are employed but aren't earning enough to make ends meet. The "Star City" is the hub of an asset-filled region; filled with resources and talents. We must utilize these and, alongside our neighbors, work to tell the Story of Roanoke to drive business here.

EDUCATION

Sam believes that it is the responsibility of everyone to participate in our education system. It is essential to bring all community resources together – public and private – to ensure that every child comes to school ready to learn and that each receives a high quality public education.

FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY

With an extensive background in finance as CFO and a small business owner, Sam knows what it takes to balance a budget. With less assistance coming from Washington and Richmond, Sam believes we need to watch every tax dollar to protect the jobs of our teachers and first responders.
