Wellington must adapt to pursue sustainability of its older neighborhoods while implementing an attractive model for businesses.Our goal is to take advantage of the many strengths we already have as a community.
The role of municipal government is to facilitate business development through adequate infrastructure and a responsive government environment. Business needs to be able to grow and prosper. The community needs to address the issues of neighborhood revitalization, infrastructure and facilitation. In short, these new approaches give the community the tools for sustainable growth.
