Renee Morgan
I was elected to the Danville Town Council in 2012 and served as Mayor in 2016 and 2021. I previously served on the Danville Planning Commission, Danville’s Historic Design Review, and Danville’s Heritage Resource Commission for 8 years. During this time I implemented stronger open space guidelines, tightened historic preservation guidelines, and updated 2 General Plans.
As a Council member, I have re-assessed and re-imagined our priorities in a new light. The global impact of the Pandemic and SIP orders created an immediate and significant financial impact on all local governments. Being called on to devise a recovery strategy that not only opens up the economy but protects lives.
I have faced this challenge head-on and have continued my efforts to find ways to not only help Danville today but ensure residents and businesses will thrive moving forward.
Everything from our finances to our street closures had to be balanced to provide the best outcome for all. I tend to look at Finances through Financial Bifocals, with one eye on the present and one eye on the future.
I have continued to ensure the ongoing fiscal health of the Town by adopting a balanced budget, maintaining strong reserves, and sustainable a ten-year forecast. The 23/24 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program continue to reflect careful financial planning.
