Fairhope citizens deserve clean water, a responsible approach to development, and the protection of the small-town quality of life that makes our city so unique.

INFRASTRUCTURE

We must upgrade and maintain our electric, sewer, and water systems. Sewage overflow and pollution of Mobile Bay should be a top priority. We should be innovative in our approach to transportation, encouraging an intuitive balance between drivers and pedestrians. Parking and new infrastructure should be conducive to the needs of our residents without inhibiting the view of our natural surroundings.

PARKS & RECREATION

Fairhope is not a place people move to live a sedentary lifestyle. We like to move and play! Although there is a strong vision for Parks and Recreation, actions have stalled, and in some cases, never materialized. We need to follow through from concept to completion in a timely manner and continue to identify additional areas for improvement.

NATURAL RESOURCES

Fairhope is known for magnificent sunsets, panoramic views and its scenic waterfront. I believe we need to collaborate to reach consensus about how to protect our beautiful city -- the trees, the wetlands and the waterfront. These natural resources are vital to the future of Fairhope.

LOCAL BUSINESSES

We need to support local businesses as they strive to reach their full potential. We must give local merchants a voice as we work through our decision-making process regarding zoning and sales tax.

“MORE THAN ANYTHING, I BELIEVE IN A UNIFIED FAIRHOPE.  WE ARE A UNIQUE CITY FILLED WITH A DIVERSE, ECLECTIC MIX OF CREATIVITY, INNOVATION, AND PERSPECTIVE.  IT’S MY MISSION TO BRING EVERY VOICE TO THE FOREFRONT.  I BELIEVE IN UNIFYING OUR CITY GOVERNMENT, CULTIVATING A HEALTHY DIALOGUE, AND FOCUSING ON SOLUTIONS RATHER THAN CONFLICT.  I WANT TO RESTORE YOUR TRUST IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND ENCOURAGE HEALTHY DIALOGUE AT CITY HALL.” 

 – Corey A. Martin, Candidate for Fairhope City Council, Place 2
