H Protecting our quality of life by preserving farmland and open space in a fiscally responsible manner, encouraging “smart growth” economic development, improving public transit options, and working to maintain the financial viability of Cumberland County’s top-notch Claremont nursing home to provide quality care, when needed, for our county’s growing older adult population.
