Another thoughtful question from the Chamber Town Hall, this time on what makes Duvall a healthy, connected community.
Q: As Duvall continues to grow, how would you ensure that we preserve our small-town feel while meeting the needs of a changing population?
A: Preserving Duvall’s small-town feel is at the heart of every decision I make. It’s about growing thoughtfully—protecting what we love while preparing wisely for what’s next.
That means:
• Intentional growth management: Planning carefully for where and how development happens, so we maintain open spaces, walkable neighborhoods, and our natural beauty.
• Design standards and character-based planning: Ensuring new buildings and public spaces reflect Duvall’s unique charm.
• Engagement and transparency: Inviting residents into the planning process so growth reflects our vision, not just outside pressures.
