  • Parks, Recreation, and City Services

    Let’s focus on our parks, recreation, and city services to keep Dalton a safe place to work, live, and play. Playgrounds and ball fields create healthy activities for youth engagement, as well as vibrant areas for family and individual use! We have made huge strides with Haig Mill Lake and the start of connection trails . Let’s keep growing!

  • Infrastructure Investment

    Infrastructure is the backbone of our city. We will continue to prioritize modernizing and maintaining roads, stormwater drains, better street lighting, and sidewalk improvements. Dalton is growing, and we are ready to match our infrastructure with that growth!

  • Support Existing Industries

    Dalton is one of the few places that still creates and distributes manufactured goods. We will create partnerships to develop the future labor force for sustainable business growth. We will also continue to keep Dalton business friendly for entrepreneurs and industry.

  • Continue Downtown Growth

    Downtown Dalton has strategically grown in leaps and bounds over the last five years. We will continue that momentum with strategic and purposeful beautification projects, streetscape projects, and sidewalk initiatives to make downtown pedestrian friendly and supportive for growing small businesses.
