“Fredericksburg is a great city in which to live and raise a family. But it is a city that faces many challenges in the future. If the City Council faces those challenges honestly, keeps the community informed of the pros and cons and long-term direction, makes the necessary strategic investments, and keeps the focus on Fredericksburg’s unique character, it will remain the city that attracted us all here in the first place.” – Matt Kelly
The issues


Environmental
Protecting the Rappahannock River, establishing parks and open spaces, and planting trees are not only good for the environment they provide.

Transportation
We can continue to complain about the lack of state and federal support for transportation and watch as our roads become more...

Recreation
Fredericksburg was recently recognized as having the best quality of life for a city of our size in Virginia.

Infrastructure
Investment in public safety, water/sewer infrastructure and other services have not kept up with city growth.
