As more people move to this area and Rincon continues to grow, he plans on building up the city by meeting the community’s needs.

“Making sure that we are putting enough amenities in place for the ballots between the residential growth and the commercial and industrial growth that are coming not only to Rincon but the area. Everything from parks, to trails to updated athletic facilities and partnering with all the other agencies.”

With traffic constantly backed up on state Highway 21, he expects growth their as well. With that out of Rincon’s hands, he still wants to create a plan for Rincon so.
