1. How would you implement your top priority?

Answer from Gerri Harbison:

I will continue to promote working to achieve a balance of old and new housing while protecting the residential harmony that now exists. Working with our businesses to understand the needs of our residents will also help us achieve this.


2. Numerous important issues including transportation, land use planning, housing and economic development for the Greater Hamilton County regions are being deliberated by OKI's Land Use Commission and Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission and Planning Partnership COMPASS; how engaged should local government be in these planning activities? If elected, how would you participate in these planning activities?

Answer from Gerri Harbison:

It is imperative that communities participate. I have represented Montgomery as a member of OKI's Board of Trustees for the last 4 years and been a member of the Land Use Commi9ssion. I would continue to support these issues & Montgomery's participation.


3. Ohio Department of Natural Resources in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Recycling Coalition conducted a state-specific study and found recycling businesses in Ohio generated $650.6 million dollars in state government revenue. If elected how would you promote recycling and support recycling programs currently in place in your community to reduce solid waste generation?

Answer from Gerri Harbison:

As an incumbent, I was a founder of the volunteer commission "Environmental Advisory Groups in Montgomery 2002". The group's charge is to find ways for citizens to become more aware of recycling. I would continue to support & encourage this.
