130 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 9 the new workforce flocking into the region. Navigating Tecumseh’s Promising Future Under the steadfast leadership of Mayor McNamara, Tecumseh is poised to seize a future that seems to accelerate with each passing day. The coming two to five years promise to be an era of intense dynamism for this small yet ambitious town, spurred by significant industrial and residential investments and an anticipated influx of residents. The major focus is ensuring the town’s capacity to deliver on its commitment to progress and sustainability. “As we keep looking beyond the horizon,” Mayor McNamara asserts, “we must also recognize what is here now: a period of successful, sustainable growth. However, the pace is quickening, so we must have the resources to handle this aggressive approach.” The stakes are high, but Tecumseh is ready to meet them head-on. Yet amidst this brisk momentum, the community remains at the heart of Tecumseh’s aspirations. The Mayor stresses the need to ensure that current residents continue to feel valued, ensuring that their approval of the town’s services, currently at 97%, is sustained. “We must ensure that as we move forward and bring in the new, we maintain the essence of Tecumseh as a great place to live, work, and play,” he shares. Indeed, Tecumseh’s charm lies in its ability to evolve while retaining its character affectionately referred to as a ‘people place’. Mayor McNamara reassures us, “Customer service and attention to detail are fundamental values for us. We intend to persist with these principles.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n Dillon Consulting www.dillon.ca
