Home Contribute Who Is Mark Brown? Accomplishments Volunteer Service Platform Residents for Brown

2009 Platform of Mayor Mark Brown

1. I am working to keep property taxes as low as possible realizing that Guilford County continues to raise its property tax every year.

2. The Summerfield Community Park has been completed under budget  and on time.  As a Council member and as Mayor I worked hard to get the funding in place for the park and physically worked along with many volunteers to save the town money by doing portions of the work ourselves.  I invite all Summerfield residents to come out and see the beautiful park that two years ago was waist high kudzu.
 
3. The Council realized several years ago a dire need for active recreation fields due to the hundreds of new residents that have
moved in and the fact that we are using the same baseball fields that I used back in 1962.  A 28 acre tract of land was bought
in 2007 and on August 20 a groundbreaking was held for the new athletic park located on US 220 beside the GasTown station.
I  have supported and worked to get funding in place for the athletic fields.  It is hoped that by spring 2010 the fields will be ready
to play on.
 
4. For the next two years a big priority will be to help the Comprehensive Plan Committee as they chart the course for land use
planning in Summerfield for the next twenty years. 

5. Listen to and treat all parties that come before the Summerfield Town Council with the dignity and respect that they deserve. Conduct the business of the citizens of the Town fairly and honestly and render fair judgments in all cases.

 


Mark is seen here working on an abandon well located on Town of Summerfield property.  His labor on this well saved the Town hundreds of dollars.

Working both on the Town Council and tirelessly giving of his time behind the scene as in the work he and many other towns folk gave to the reconstruction of the Brittian building exemplifies Mayor Brown's devotion to Summerfield.

 

 Lead by the positive example of Mayor Mark Brown, the citizens of Summerfield are donating thousands of cost saving hours to benefit the Town.

Each year the Town honors the volunteers who tirelessly give of their time to work on committees and large projects like the Community Park. Without the volunteers the Town would have to spend a great deal of money to provide the quality of life enjoyed by the citizens of Summerfield.
