  1. It is amazing to see the entire council and mayor change but it is time. People would be blown away at how just the primarily election made in the attitudes and interests from the development community. I am hopeful that the new council really does listen to the community and those that have been working hard to make Westfield great, to expand on some good momentum that once existed. This can’t be a political joust or a fight over who is doing the most work. It has to be a group of councilors looking to make Westfield awesome from today until 100 years from now. They get bombarded by issues and special interest but coming up with a plan that outlasts their election will be key, as we have yet to have that type of mojo. This really is the opportunity of a lifetime for a City to get on track and do some special things. I would encourage anyone that wants to get involved to reach out to your new candidate, help with the Downtown Westfield Association or join the Westfield Chamber of Commerce. #bestfield
