Grant Waters for Covington City Council 2024

This page is to donate, support, or learn more about how to get involved in our goal of electing Grant Waters to Covington City Council in 2024!

The platform is based on key issues Grant aims to begin working on with current and future administrations from DAY ONE if elected this fall.

INFRASTRUCTURE

The 2016 Floods cost our area an estimated $8.3 billion in damages.

Covington's critical issues of flood mitigation, drainage projects, and transportation must be met head-on and with urgency. I'm confident that my ability to forge and leverage relationships between parish & city officials, private citizens & other entities to elevate the need for functional improvements that enhance our overall quality of life.

ECONOMIC SECURITY

As a small business owner based in Covington, I am committed to sustainable economic growth that is manageable for both current and future citizens. With our population growth rate currently at 6.53%, my strategy involves prioritizing a proactive-thinking business model that can effectively meet Covington's commercial & infrastructure requirements without overwhelming our resources.

PUBLIC SAFETY

47% of Covington households operate two or more vehicles daily, so transportation alleviation are a bedrock of my campaign. I am proud to support initiatives for Covington's first responders through continuous training and tools to safeguard both themselves and our community. This commitment extends to promoting adherence to zoning & traffic rules in residential areas, emphasizing the safety of children, pedestrians, and the safe integration of alternative vehicle traffic - bicycles, golf carts, etc. - to create a secure and accessible environment for all residents.

FAMILY & COMMUNITY

Covington's population growth is driven in large part by our quality-of-life, particularly for families. As a husband, father, and volunteer coach I believe we can do more to offer comparable facilities, programs, & resources as our neighboring municipalities. Appointed by Parish President Cooper to my second term as Board Member of STP Recreation District #10, I have seen first-hand how this can promote community and civic responsibility. Lowered criminal incident & recidivism rates, tech-reduced entertainment, & positive health outcomes are all possible with your vote in 2024.
