Mayor William B. Judge:
A RECORD OF SOLID ACCOMPLISHMENTS & STEADY COMMUNITY PROGRESS.
– A message from the former Mayor –
“I am grateful for the opportunity I had to serve my community
and the great people of Barberton.
I am proud of what my administration accomplished over the 14 years that I was in office.
This includes vast improvements in infrastructure upgrades; creating the city’s first sustainable road resurfacing program, a sustainable dedicated water line replacement program, huge upgrades in mitigating storm water, internal improvements with standard operating procedures and creating processes for more efficiency and effectiveness of local government.
We were able to acquire around
$80 million in
grant funds
FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS,
park upgrades, assistance to firefighters, police officers, and other local, state, and federal grant funds; we were able to move the city in a positive direction forward.
Coming into office the community was still feeling the effects of the housing bust, but we were able to stabilize property values by removing blighted structures, infilling vacant lots with new houses, stabilizing our budget, growing our income tax collection with new jobs in the community, fostering relationships at the local, state, and federal level and functioning as government should, for the people.”
