A Plan for Isanti

Isanti is growing — and that's a good thing. But growth has to be managed carefully so we don't lose what makes this city special.

• Work with developers to ensure new housing fits the character of our neighborhoods
• Require community input before major development projects are approved
• Protect green space, parks, and natural areas as the city expands
• Update the comprehensive plan with meaningful resident participation

Working hard to make sure the City responsively grows and stays affordable for the families who call Isanti home.

• Streamline permitting to reduce the cost of building new homes
• Expand programs that help first-time homebuyers enter the market
• Partner with nonprofits to develop affordable rental options
• Ensure seniors and long-time residents can afford to stay in their homes

Every resident deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood. Jeff will invest in the people and programs that keep Isanti secure.

• Fully staff the police department and support officer training and retention
• Expand community policing so officers know the neighborhoods they serve
• Invest in mental health response programs to reduce strain on law enforcement
• Improve street lighting and infrastructure in underserved areas

Supporting small businesses, attracting good-paying jobs, and ensuring every neighborhood shares in the city's prosperity.

• Create a small business support office to cut red tape and connect owners with resources
• Partner with the county on workforce development and job training programs
• Attract employers that offer living wages and benefits
• Invest in broadband infrastructure to support remote workers and small businesses

City hall should work for residents — not the other way around. Jeff will bring a culture of accountability and openness to every department.

• Publish clear, easy-to-read city budgets and spending reports
• Hold quarterly town halls in every district
• Create an online portal for residents to track service requests and city projects
• Establish an independent ethics review process for city officials
