Our Collective Vision

Execute strategically on key priorities

In 2022, our city leaders created a 5-year strategic plan for our community. The vision set forth for Kirkwood centers on a livable, connected community with heart. We want to maintain our smalltown charm that welcomes everyone. My priorities are focused on the areas that matter most to our community.
