I will implement the Sustainability Blueprint, adopted in March, to move Pittsfield toward net zero carbon emissions. Following up on the racial equity forum hosted in February, I will ensure Pittsfield’s leadership in addressing racial injustices. If re-elected, we will conduct a survey and public forums to partner with residents on public safety services. Grewal: Since 2009, I’ve conducted an average of 2 public forums/month in order to ensure we are representative of Pittsfield residents’ needs/priorities. As we address social injustices and the Great Pandemic, I will use my experience to lead Pittsfield Township in promoting Respectful, Inclusive, and Sustainable Equity. I have worked to reduce sprawl, expand green spaces, acquire nearly $20 million in grant funds, support diverse & affordable housing. Since 2009, I have worked hard to deliver on that vision by establishing multi-modal transportation, transit, the Farmers Market, green infrastructure, community gardens, and neighborhood parks. After serving two terms as Washtenaw County Commissioner for Pittsfield Township, I ran for Supervisor because I wanted to use my planning skills to outline a blueprint of promoting sustainable equity within a suburban context. My work on equity (Planning for the Marginalized) and social justice (advocacy for domestic violence & sexual assault survivors) led me into public service. Grewal: My work at Great Lakes Commission inspired me to enter the Urban Planning Ph.D.
