The council’s primary focus was on addressing the affordable housing shortage, a issue impacting many residents. One council member emphasized the need for more inclusive housing policies. The council explored options such as incentives for developers who prioritize affordable units and revisiting zoning regulations to facilitate more housing construction.

In addition to housing, the council also considered initiatives to boost local business growth. A proposal was brought forward to create a business incubator program aimed at supporting small and medium-sized enterprises. The program would offer resources like mentorship, financial assistance, and networking opportunities to help local businesses thrive. Council members expressed optimism about the potential economic benefits of such a program, particularly in creating jobs and stimulating the local economy.
