DR. Julie Metzger Aubuchon: serving the city of Florence

As Mayor, Dr. Aubuchon has committed to  maintain a fiscally conservative spending plan that allows the city to provide services without raising taxes.

• Real Estate Taxes remain  at the same rate as they were in 2008.
• The city is prepared for anticipated increases to the employee pension fund due to the current crisis.
• The city maintains an excellent credit rating and bond rating.

As a long-time member of the City of Florence Planning and Zoning Committee, Dr. Aubuchon has first hand knowledge of successful tools needed to ensure developments meet high standards and bring about revitalization of the city.  During her tenure, she has reviewed plans for hundreds of developments. Notable development projects include:

• Residential Developments 
• Mall Road corridor revitalization.
• Industrial Developments
• Senior Housing 
• Healthcare facilities

Dr. Aubuchon, as a representative of Florence, fosters relationships with community partners.

The safety and security of our citizens is of paramount importance. Mayor Aubuchon and Council will continue to budget our resources wisely so that our first responders have the tools they need to respond to any situation that may be presented.

Continuous planning for equipment replacement ensures that our employees operate safe vehicles on their way to "save the day" for our residents.

Our public services department is truly what distinguishes Florence as a first-class, full service city.  As a member of council, Dr. Aubuchon has ensured that this department has the funding it needs to implement infrastructure projects in an innovative way.  The department administers the city's street network, water distribution, sewer collection, and implements all capital projects for the City.
