From League of Women Voters voter guide....... http://www.lwvnww.org/files/vg_9-09_livonia.pdf Conrad Schwartz 30144 Buckingham, Livonia, MI 48154 My wife and I moved to Livonia in 1978 and raised our two children (now adults and married) in this great city. Both of our children graduated from Livonia Churchill. My 33 year career with General Motors ended in November of last year when I retired as an executive in its Real Estate Department. Most of my career involved the management, development, redevelopment or disposition of General Motors properties. As you can imagine, I traveled across this country to manage these properties and interfaced with local communities and governments at the municipal and state levels. This experience uniquely qualifies me to address the most compelling issue facing Livonia , that is putting the scores of vacant buildings and undeveloped properties back to a productive re-use. I also want to note that my responsibilities in the last 10 years of my GM career included managing the Renaissance Center which included annual budget responsibility for 150 Million dollars, including security and life safety issues. So I know and respect fiduciary responsibility. In closing this question, I am an engineering graduate from Lawrence Tech, with an MBA from The University of Detroit. I have sat on many different boards, and civic groups over the years and am proud of my contributions to each. Priorities In this order, getting our non-productive real estate assets back to work, that includes the old GM plant on Eckles Road , soon to be closed GM plant on Plymouth , other sites on Plymouth , 5 Mile, I-96 etc..With no disrespect intended, our citys’ redevelopment team is short staffed and lacks the experience to deal with the multitude of projects facing Livonia , If elected,I will jump in full time to help in any way I can and use whatever resources I have developed over the years. My second priority is neighborhood crime, for now.we as leaders and citizens and homeowners can help and reduce neighborhood crime with better street lighting and a more involved community/block/street awareness programs. I would introduce programs to assist homeowners in putting lights in front of each house in Livonia and forming block associations to watch over neighbors and their properties. Imagine a crooks surprise when he exits one of our expressways and turns into a neighborhood to steal tires and finds every house lit up like a Christmas tree. See Ya bad guy! Property values begin to increase and insurance costs go down its just that simple. Finally. I want to introduce assistance to help our youth, our human assets to … |
