Being Small is Size Can be a Good Thing

By Jeff Duclos

Candidate for Councilmember; City of Hermosa Beach

This information is provided by the candidate
Why should we be satisfied with being a good community, when we can be a model community?
We are a small city with a small tax base. We need to make our city's small size an economic advantage. In 2002, out of all the cities in Santa Monica Bay, Hermosa Beach was selected as the site for oceanic fiber optic cable undergrounding. We now enjoy the many benefits fiber optics brings because of it.

Because of our small size, we have less bureaucracy and a capacity to mount new programs more quickly, and at less cost, than our larger neighboring cities.

We need to press this economic advantage and actively seek out forward thinking companies and bring them and their projects to Hermosa Beach. We need new thinking and an infusion of new energy in city government and that's what I bring.

Why should we be satisfied with being a good community, when we can be a model community?
