Karen Cronin believes one of the most important items to address is the economic development of the City. It is vital to provide employment to the member of the community so their financial needs are meet. This increases the tax bases for continued growth. As the population continues to grow, the Perry area will see a surge of new residential and commercial developments. Growth needs to be carefully planned and managed to ensure infrastructure, utilities and emergency services are in place. As the Wasatch Front population continues to expand north from Weber County, Perry City will see a large surge of new residential and commercial developments. This growth will need to be prudently planned for and carefully managed to ensure infrastructure, utilities, technical, and emergency services are generated in a financially responsible manner and meet the needs of a diverse population.
