Christopher Finley
Alderman | Ward 2
WHAT I'M WORKING ON
Expanding
Business Growth
Supporting small businesses
and encouraging responsible
development beyond
downtown to create jobs,
increase revenue, and
strengthen our community.
Promoting Tourism
That Works
Attrating visitors through
special events and local
experiences that support
our businesses and keep
Plattsburg a place people
want to return to.
Improving Revenue
Without Raising Taxes
Exploring solutions like a
spcecial events vendor tax
that applies to outside
vendors - not local
businesses, to offset city
costs and improve
quality of life
Better Use of
City Property
Finding smart and creative
uses for underutilized
land, like the 14 acres, to
create opportunities for
events, recreation, and
long-term growth.
Expanding Holiday
Traditions
Building on our Christmas
parade and sales event with more vendors,
storytelling, carolers,
and local shopping -
celebrating the story of
Santa Claus Shaver.
Clear, Transparent
Communication
Keeping residents informed
with facts, not rumors,
and making sure your
voice is heard in the
decisions that shape
our small town.
FROM PLANNING TO ACTION
As Chairman of Planning & Zoning, I worked
to improve how Plattsburg approaches zoning
and development, including proposals like
C2-N to preserve property values, support
small businesses, and protect our historic
homes and neighborhoods.
Now on City Council, I'm applying that
experience to broader decisions that drive
economic growth, protect our heritage,
and build a stronger future for Plattsburg.

Misinformation is Hurting
Plattsburg - And It Has
to Stop
False claims and half-truths
are holding our city back.
It's time to focus on facts
and move forward together.
A New Vision for the
Fall Festival
Main Street as Vendor Street,
the carnival on city-owned
land, and a vendor-based
event tax that benefits
everyone.
Supporting Business &
Preserving Our Heritage
with C2-N
How smart zoning can save our
historic homes, encourage
small business, and keep
neighborhoods strong.
Making Plattsburg a Christmas Destination
More vendors, storytelling,
carolers, and local shopping,
celebrating Santa Clause
Saver and what makes
our town special.
Why Planning & Zoning
Still Matters
Good planning protects
property values, supports
growth, and ensures
decisions are made the
for the right reasons.
Getting Involved
Why It Matters
Our community is strongest
when residents stay informed,
ask questions, and take part
in the decisions that shape
our town and your taxes.
