What We Stand For
ResponsibilitY
We believe those who generate jobs, growth and opportunity have a responsibility to do it effectively and in a manner that protects the environment – applying water quality standards, working closely with the Department of Natural Resources, curtailing runoff and adhering to setback standards.
Similarly, those who regulate economic development have a responsibility to provide a political environment that is clear, concise and uniform.
Accountability
Whether we are creating jobs or governing our respective communities, we must all be accountable. Economic development means protecting the environment, treating workers fairly and building a future responsibly, and government accountability means you share your community’s desire to create opportunity.
A Better Dane County is committed to working with current and future elected officials who share these visions.
CONSISTENCY
We need to agree that economic development is good for Dane County. Job creators and economic developers are currently faces with the challenge of navigating the complex regulatory world of Dane County. Mixed messages, shifting criteria and political uncertainty can negatively impact meaningful projects that produce jobs.
