Dear Windham Voters,
I am writing to ask for your vote in March for Windham's Planning Board. Please allow me to tell you who I am and why I believe I would be a great fit for this position.
I have lived in Windham for over 11 years with my husband, Heath, and we have two young boys - Cole (6) and Michael (4). I have a Bachelors of Science Degree in Biotechnology and work full-time in business development for a contract service organization based in Philadelphia, PA.
In 2012 I was appointed to a subcommittee of Windham's Planning Board for the purposes of revising the Village Center District Ordinance. I proudly served for 7+ months on this subcommittee which culminated in the revised ordinance's approval during the 2013 ballot process. There is already one new project in the planning phase as a result of this subcommittee's work. I truly enjoyed this experience and believe that the learning curve would be lesser as a result.
Additionally 2014 and 2015 are going to be important years for Windham's future. During this time the Planning Board will be evaluating and likely revising Windham's Master Plan for the timeframe from 2015-2025. The Master Plan will outline various goals for the town including land use, water quality and supply, traffic, economic development, etc. If you are like me and would like to see Windham stay on Money Magazine's 50 Best Places to Live for years to come I would appreciate your vote in March.
Most importantly I will not benefit financially from holding this position as I have not and do not do business in or with the town of Windham. I am simply a passionate, taxpaying voter who wishes to give back to the community that I am very proud to call home. If you are uncomfortable with foxes guarding our hen house then I would appreciate your vote in March.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and I look forward to meeting you at the upcoming campaign events. Please feel free to contact me with any questions at (603) 880-8750 or tracey01603@yahoo.com.
Best Regards,
Tracey Partington
