Ryan Frandsen to seek open Provo City Council
City-Wide I Seat
Local businessman and
former Planning Commissioner seeks to replace Laura
Cabanilla
PROVO, Utah –Ryan Frandsen today announced his
intention to seek the Provo City Council City-Wide I Seat. Frandsen seeks
to fill the seat of outgoing City Council Member Laura Cabanilla. Ms. Cabanilla
will not seek a second term and has endorsed Mr. Frandsen.
“There are so many exciting things
happening in Provo.
I believe I can add value and help direct our current momentum” Frandsen
said. “Provo
was recently ranked by Forbes magazine as the third best place to live in the
entire nation. Our cost of living, housing affordability, low crime rates and
education opportunities are phenomenal. The projected growth rate for
businesses in our city over the next 18 months is 2.5%. Where else are you
going to find that in today’s national landscape? Those great things did not
just happen. It has taken leadership and planning to get us here and it is
going to take directed vision to keep us here.”
“I understand Provo’s strengths and can see where we need
to be headed and what we need to do to build on the great foundation we have. I
want to represent the citizens of Provo
as those growth decisions are made.”
Adding Value to our
Businesses
“Our regulatory environment
needs to be consistent, clear, and reasonable,” Frandsen said. “I will be
active in promoting a vibrant business environment where start-ups can thrive
and new businesses will want to come. An even higher priority is fighting for
our existing and often neglected local business heroes.”
Adding Value to our Neighborhoods
“As a City Council Member I will also be
a strong advocate for protecting our traditional neighborhoods,” Frandsen
said. He continued; “A city is only as strong as its neighborhoods.
As a former Planning Commissioner, I’ve personally seen threats to my own
neighborhood as well as others in our city. I will be active in preserving that
which makes Provo
such a great place – our neighborhoods.”
Adding Value to our Families
“Our unique mix of retirees, (we were
recently listed as ‘the best city for successful aging’) University students and traditional families create
the core foundation that makes Provo what it is. My highest priority will be protecting the
individuality of those diverse demographics while maintaining the family values we all share. Our community needs
to be safe and family friendly. I will work to keep our crime rates low,
provide wholesome recreational opportunities and keep cost of living and doing
business family friendly.” Frandsen said.
