How to resolve AdBlock issue? MALTA — The candidates for Malta Town Council, Matthew Coldrick, Timothy Dunn and Craig Warner, met at a candidate event held by the League of Women Voters on Thursday, Oct. 24, at the original Panza’s restaurant location.
The audience’s questions ranged from whether the candidates’ campaign signs complied with the town’s Sign Code, which they all said they did, to several questions about Malta’s future growth.
Throughout the event, Coldrick mentioned that one of his top priorities would be to develop Malta’s downtown area with the Complete Streets projects and that sprawl was not the answer, especially since Malta’s 500 acres of green space is helping to draw people to the town. He added that as a father and business owner himself, he wanted to keep taxes as low as possible.
Dunn focused on what he has completed while in office, such as how they closed the door on new apartment construction, one of the biggest issues both candidates and audience members went back to throughout the event. He said that they have been trying to implement the Complete Streets project, but also needed to change it so that it did not hurt small businesses.
Likewise, Warner cited the many organizations and committees he has been on throughout his career, saying that he has done more in the background. He said that Malta has enough apartments, and for Complete Streets said that he was an advocate of the program, but that the quotes came back higher than expected and they needed to make sure to be within budget.
