our goals
We want Chesterfield and our surrounding areas to retain a rural, “hometown” feeling and avoid joining other communities that have watched warehouses pop-up without the benefits that were promised by the developers.
In addition to encouraging the continuation of a golf course or other green space, we advocate for other issues that impact our community's quality of life. From help applying for grants for better facilities, to advocating for a better environment, we hope to have a positive, lasting impact on Chesterfield and the surrounding area.
