CIVIC/COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP
I would love to see Damascus grow in a way that not only satisfies the current citizens, but also be a place that future generations will be proud of. We need to balance personal property rights with our responsibility to be good stewards of the land. A viable mix of housing, attracting new business and preserving our quality of life should be of utmost importance.
