Barbara Stockton

years in the real estate industry including the past five years with Van Metre Companies. Favorite pastimes for me are cooking and gardening.

I am fortunate to lie at a point in my life when I have the time and energy to devote to this Town.

The Tbwn has a great history, and I look forward to working with my neighbors as we move forward.

Question #1

Washington is a village

within a county pledged

to controlled growth. There must be a watchful balance between commercial and residential expansion appropriate to the Town and its citizens while being financially viable. The wastewater treatment facility is critical to health and wellbeing of the Town.

Question #2

The hospitality industry is

the Town’s principle

source of income, and accounts for the bulk of the budget. Our expenses over the next few years will be dictated by the operational costs of current and proposed facilities and services. Watchful husbandry of existing resources and projected expenses should keep the budget on track.

Question #3

Avon Hall offers the Tbwn

an appropriate location'

for the much needed Wastewater treatment plant. Mayor Willis and the Council have worked diligently to lay the groundwork to resolve our ecological needs with an affordable solution. They should be commended for their efforts.

Mr. Junk referred to parking problems at nearby Cooter’s, and agreed that a review of the flea market permit was a good idea. The Planning Commission unanimously approved the application, subject to the specified conditions.
