Your Councilman in action rain or shine. Lilly Run and standing water has been a hot topic for far too long. Recently laid plans are to mitigate erosion of personal property and reduce quickflow of water. Protecting the assets of Havre de Grace is my continuous promise - in any weather.

Working for you!
Friends and neighbors,
Last week during the City Council meeting, the CEO of ThinkBig Networks, Dee Anna Sobczak, provided a public presentation to the city on upgrading the network infrastructure of Havre de Grace. The presentation spoke of underground fiber optic cable capable of 100x the bandwidth of the current coaxial cable internet service provider we currently have.
Running on the promise of upgrading network capabilities, this is a huge step forward with minimal impact to the citizen. The initial thought is to begin with the downtown renovation, bringing high speed connectivity to merchants and expanding to the industrial base and homes. The improvement over current network infrastructure has proven to bring in businesses and opportunities to the citizens.
Visit for more details!
