Arlington residents have too few employment choices close to where they live. We need to encourage job creation locally, especially small business creation. Younger generations are not as accepting of long commutes in exchange for employment and are looking to settle in locations where there are employment opportunities close to where they live. Arlington can and should be the place where we can live, work, start careers and businesses, and most importantly, call home. It should always be our goal to make Arlington as accessible as we can to attract new businesses and residents. A city that moves safely and smoothly is a powerful incentive for future prospective businesses.
