After 125 years of an economy based on logging and fishing Fort Bragg needs to build new economic possibilites:
(Click here to see large 1.5 MB copy of map) Fort Bragg is getting the job done. We have acquired 90 acres of parkland and trail along the entire coastline. Imagine starting out at Pomo Bluffs Park and having an 5 mile ocean trail all the way out across the trestle to MacKerricher State Park. The Noyo Center has formed as non profit organization.. We have purchased 11 acres on the mill site. Not only will the Noyo Center create quality jobs, it will help our Community College become a destination for those interested in Marine Science. Local Community College students will be able to study Marine Science here and those that excel will have the opportunity to transfer to one of the consortium of colleges partnering with the center. We are working on plans for an Industrial Arts Center on the mill site to provide affordable work space for our fine woodworkers as well as other industrial arts. Equally important, sitting just west of the Skunk Train, it will provide a venue for visitors to see (and buy) the incredible fine work done here on the coast, supporting these craftspeople. And we have done this the 12 years I have been on council with a balanced budget. Thanks for your support.

Dave and his wife Anne will celebrate their 35th Anniversary in September. They moved back to Fort Bragg in 1992 to raise their four children in a town where the community watches out for kids. Dave
and Anne have four children. Katie graduated from
UC Santa Cruz and came back to Fort Bragg to open Pippi's Longstockings on Laurel selling Sock, Hats and Handbags. Dewey attended Sonoma State and came back to help run FloBeds.. Packie graduated from Holy Names University (on a basketball scholarship) and Bryna is a earning her masters in Playwriting at Rutgers University back east. |

Shortly after returning to Fort Bragg, Dave joined the just formed Fort Bragg General Plan Economic Development & Tourism Committee where he began to see what could be done in Fort Bragg. |

The Turners are members of St Michaels Episcopal Church here in Fort Bragg, where Dave has served three terms on Vestry, 2 year as Senior Warden and was Church Treasurer. Dave was also treasurer of a National Trade Association for two terms. I like to see the numbers work out. This is one of the strengths I bring to city government a real business sense. Fort Bragg is the best place in the world to live, and it is the job of the council to make sure we can still say that 50 years from now. We need to move forward with a clear vision.
