At an Independence City Council candidate forum, candidates discussed business attraction and the potential economic impact of the Park 536 industrial development near KY-536. Roemer said: “As long as we continue to do that in a responsible way, we don’t overload one section of the city or another, there’s a lot of opportunity to bring new business here with that addition with how easy it will be to access Independence from the south side of the city,” Roemer said.

The incumbents commended what they described as the city’s tight budgetary control, but the two challengers said that it may be worth reexamining the budget to determine if anything needed to be changed or more managed better. “We’d love the opportunity to fine tooth comb the budget,” Roemer said. “Performance based budgeting to help streamline some of that.”
