"I'm excited about the amenities that we as a county can share as we create jobs and increase our population.  If you look at where we are going over the next 10 years, you can already see that our community-wide planning efforts are beginning to bear real fruit.  We have the assets to support solid growth today, and I look forward to the positive effect that growth will have on our county."
