Keeping Glen Rock Safe, Vibrant, and True to Itself

Bob and Ed are committed to responsible development -- growth that enhances our town without compromising its character, infrastructure, or safety.  We support both residential and commercial development that is thoughtful, sustainable, and community-driven.

​

Glen Rock is a special place, and we believe in protecting what makes it unique while planning wisely for the future.

 

Smart Residential Development

We support residential growth that respects neighborhood character and ensures Glen Rock remains livable for generations to come.

 

We will:

• Encourage zoning and support master planning that reflects Glen Rock’s scale and identity

• Resist overdevelopment and out-of-character projects

• Encourage transparency and public input in planning and zoning decisions

• Support housing options that meet the evolving needs of families, seniors, and young residents

 

Thoughtful Commercial Development

Our downtown and commercial areas should reflect the best of Glen Rock -- welcoming, walkable, and vibrant without losing its small-town charm.

​

We will:

• Work to attract and retain small businesses that meet community needs

• Eliminate unnecessary "red tape" for businesses and find solutions vs. uncovering problems

• Promote policies that help to fill empty storefronts 

• Support local entrepreneurship and sustainable business practices

• Partner with the Chamber of Commerce and local merchants to make Glen Rock a destination for residents and neighbors alike

​

Public & Pedestrian Safety

Safety isn’t just about crime prevention -- it’s about feeling safe walking to school, crossing Rock Road, or biking through town.

​​

We will:

• Prioritize traffic calming near schools, parks, and residential streets

• Expand sidewalk access and improve crosswalk visibility

• Push for safer street lighting and intersection design

• Ensure all development aligns with public safety capacity and emergency response readiness

​

Green Space & Environmental Responsibility

​

Development must go hand-in-hand with protecting the environment and preserving our treasured open spaces.

​

We will:

• Safeguard Glen Rock’s parks, trails, and natural areas

• Promote green building standards and environmentally friendly development

• Explore infrastructure upgrades that improve drainage and stormwater management

• Support efforts to reduce the town’s carbon footprint and expand tree canopy

​

Infrastructure & Public Services

With any growth comes responsibility. We believe development should never outpace the town’s ability to deliver essential services.

​

We will:

• Align development with realistic assessments of infrastructure capacity

• Invest in long-term upgrades to roads, water, sewers, and public buildings

• Support strategic capital planning to avoid unexpected tax hikes

• Work with county and state partners to ensure Glen Rock gets its fair share of funding

​

Preserving Glen Rock’s Identity

We love Glen Rock because it’s a town that values people, character, and community.  That must remain our guiding principle.

​

We will:

​

• Respect our town’s historic character while planning for the future

• Empower residents to shape the direction of local development

• Promote inclusive, community-first decision making

• Ensure all voices are heard -- especially when change is proposed

​

Responsible development isn’t about saying “no” to growth -- it’s about saying “yes” to the right kind of growth.
Bob and Ed are ready to lead with transparency, integrity, and a deep respect for what makes Glen Rock "a town to come home to".
