Say             to Customer Service at City Hall

Mayor Lawson encourages listening first. Then problem solving. He heard distress from homeowners who are located near schools. The issue was parents, blocking driveways while they wait to drop off or pick up their children. The solution – create on-campus waiting space for the parents. 

Mayor Lawson heard repeatedly that construction fees contribute to the soaring cost of home ownership. He advanced a plan to relieve those fees until building is complete. This small difference in policy makes a big difference in the cost of construction.
