Infrastructure Gaps: Only one main exit, leading to traffic and safety issues; need for expanded roads and emergency access.
Water Rate Struggles: Ongoing battles with external utility providers; city status offers more leverage.
Essential Services: Poor ambulance response times, lack of local medical care, and food insecurity.
Growth Pressures: Rapid population increase not matched by county/city planning; need for proactive development.
Community Involvement: Success depends on volunteerism, local expertise, and inclusive planning.

Expense Reduction: Consolidate services (trash, electric, cable) to lower resident costs.
Funding Sources: Explore business taxes, franchise fees, property taxes, grants, and loans.
Service Prioritization: Use feasibility studies and community input to identify urgent needs (safety, health, infrastructure).
Resource Generation: Organize fundraising events, secure volunteer legal/professional support, and build partnerships.
Long-Term Vision: Expand city boundaries, establish a business tax base, and transition to Home Rule for greater autonomy.
