of our community.This growth is essential for maintaining a thriving business environment.
Property Tax Base Growth &Diversification:Currently,residential developments make up about 90%of our district’s tax
base.Growing the commercial development in our district boundaries will help increase the tax base to support
infrastructure for our community and schools reducing the burden on homeowners and families.

collaboration with community and business partners to provide internships,mentorship programs,and fostering real-world
learning experiences.Partnerships also strengthen community ties,promoting collaboration between schools and local
businesses for mutual benefit and long-term success.
