Derek's Priorities for A Safe and Secure Chesterfield

As Mayor, Derek will be a champion for our region. He will promote our City by encouraging economic development in the right places, protect our citizens with a strong police force, and preserve its beautiful neighborhoods with thoughtful legislation aimed at improving the quality of life.

Promote

Chesterfield is poised to be one of the most exceptional cities in the entire country. With major projects like the Gateway Productions studio and the mall / Downtown Chesterfield redevelopment, our City has some exciting things on the horizon. Having a leader that is able to help our City continue to attract top projects and professionals, is critical.

Derek knows how to promote our region, he’s already been doing it for a decade! As Chair of the Economic Development Committee as a State Rep, Derek traveled across the State promoting Chesterfield. In fact, he even had the opportunity to travel with the Governor overseas to bring jobs to our region. Chesterfield has a strong infrastructure, significant advantages with its geographic location, a highly educated workforce, world class parks, and beautiful neighborhoods with a mix of housing oportunities. We should be recognized as one of the best places in the country to live and work!

Protect

Paramount to our City’s continued success is ensuring our streets and neighborhoods are safe. When Chesterfield residents go work, the grocery store, or for a walk at night, they should feel secure. A strong, engaged, and motivated police force is one of Derek‘s priorities. He will make sure our City prioritizes law enforcement and they safety of Chesterfield citizens.

Preserve

Many cities ruin the character of their communities with overdevelopment. Louis Sachs had a vision for Chesterfield years ago that included thoughtful planning, reasonable growth, but not at the expense of the character of the City. We can have steady, strong growth, and preserve the character of our beautiful neighborhoods. As Mayor, Derek will make sure the City stays beautiful, clean, and our neighborhoods are supported by city services.

As your Mayor, Derek Grier will be your local champion to promote, protect, and preserve all that makes our City great!
