Keep the Charm

“Keep the Charm” isn’t just a slogan—it’s my promise to protect the heart of what makes Tega Cay special while planning wisely for its future.

1. Supporting our Community Values

• Keeping a family-first environment with safe neighborhoods and good schools
• Encouraging local events like concerts, parades, farmers markets, and seasonal festivals
• Promoting neighborly spirit through volunteerism and civic engagement

2. Maintaining Small-Town Character

• Keeping historic neighborhoods and architectural styles intact
• Avoiding cookie-cutter commercial sprawl and large-scale high-density housing
• Fostering small business over big box retail

3. Keeping Infrastructure Scaled to the Community

• Smart investment in roads, traffic calming, and pedestrian walkways
• Thoughtful zoning that respects Tega Cay’s unique layout and geography
• Ensuring public safety services (police/fire) stay aligned with community size

4. Protecting the Lake Lifestyle

• Prioritizing lakefront preservation and responsible dock/boat policies
• Supporting marina, golf, and trail systems as core parts of the city’s identity
• Educating residents on sustainable use of natural resources and stormwater systems

5. Preserving Natural Beauty

• Protecting green spaces, lakefronts, and wooded trails
• Limiting overdevelopment to maintain a balance between growth and nature
• Enhancing public access to Lake Wylie, parks, and outdoor recreation

6. Promoting a Welcoming, Inclusive Culture
