MEET GREG JULIAN
Dedicated to Public Service
Our Mission
Greg Julian's mission is to represent the people of Punta Gorda in ensuring, through smart development, that the character and economic viability of this small-town community remains consistent with the beauty and peacefulness that attracted us here.
Greg will help realign budget priorities consistent with the community's desire to have reliable water service, safe evacuation routes and safe pedestrian pathways. He will fight to protect and restore our harbor estuary to attract boaters and fishing enthusiasts that contribute to the economic viability of our community.
Vision for the Future
​• A City Council that makes decisions and set priorities that meet the needs and desires of the people of Punta Gorda.
• A city where all residents feel they have a voice in the direction and future of the community to maintain the waterfront charm that attracted us here.
​
• A city that promotes inclusion of the diverse members of our historic community as well as beauty and activity to draw tourism and smart growth for the economic viability of our community.
• A city that prioritizes infrastructure and safety investments within the budget.
Greg Julian brings much-needed perspective to the council, focusing on:
-
Fiscal Responsibility – Punta Gorda urgently needs failing infrastructure repaired or replaced. Instead of spending at least $16 million on renovating the City Hall and other misled budget priorities with constant cost overruns, we should be addressing flooding problems and other infrastructure needs, especially our water supply.
-
Safety improvements – there are numerous traffic safety hazards at pedestrian pathways around Punta Gorda that are much more urgent than a Taj Mahal or an over-budget splash pad.
-
Responsible economic development – maintaining the small-town character that attracted most of us to Punta Gorda is the core of the Council’s mission and vision. Most of the current council has strayed off track with the Comprehensive Plan, greatly increased density allowances and reduced parking requirements.
-
Serving the Community – Listening to the voices of the residents of Punta Gorda is essential to guiding the Council in making decisions for the community. Residents feel that most of the current council do not care about what they think.
