HILLSBOROUGH – Hillsborough Board of Commissioners candidate, Jenn Weaver says she’s ready to tackle development issues so that the best interests of the individual and the town are protected.
“Those are the most difficult decisions that the Board has to make, because we have to balance our need to bring more balance to our tax base—bringing more businesses in to balance out our residential weight that’s being born there,” Weaver says.
WCHL’s Ran Northam spoke with Weaver about her seeking election to the Board of Commissioners and how she believes she’ll best serve you.
