Councillor candidate Frank Onasanya focuses on supporting local business

Frank Onasanya is making a bid for councillor in North Grenville. Onasanya was first elected to council in 2014.

Onasanya says he has three main priorities: supporting local business, managing growth while maintaining lifestyle and infrastructure that matches growth.

He says as a small business owner himself, making sure local businesses have the tools they need to succeed is key. Onasanya says he will work diligently to support green spaces in North Grenville and maintain the small town feel of the community.

He says the municipality will have to be proactive when it comes to infrastructure because government funding is dwindling. Onasanya says council needs to find creative ways to ease the burden on the tax base while meeting the needs of the community. He says continued growth in North Grenville will put pressure on infrastructure, such as roads.
