MY PRIORITIES
PUBLIC SAFETY
In 2022, Nick led our City Council in passing the most ambitious pay and compensation package for public safety in Savannah's history. Along with new recruitment and retention bonuses, starting compensation for new Savannah Police Officers was raised to over $50,000 per year. Nick will continue to support our public safety agencies with new investments and a continued focus on community safety.
MOBILITY
In 2021, Nick led our City Council in passing the ambitious Vision Zero pledge, which aims to eliminate traffic death from all City of Savannah streets by 2027. Since then, he successfully secured $6.5 million in federal grant investments in the City of Savannah's infrastructure to bring this vision of Safe Streets to life. Nick will continue to work and expand new initiatives like Tide to Town, expand traffic calming, and promote engineering solutions to our City's most pressing mobility challenges.
RESILIENCE
In 2020, Nick led our City Council in passing the 100% Savannah pledge, putting Savannah on a trajectory for coastal resilience to save tax dollars, strengthen our City facilities, and better prepare our City for any tropical system. This effort launched Savannah to become the largest municipal provider of solar energy in Georgia, saving taxpayers $30,000 per year and more in energy savings. You can count on Nick to continue to find smart investments that make our City more resilient for decades to come.
