Alderman Calvin Williams recognizes the need to reinvest in Utica, and he believes it’s time to take action. The town’s combination of aging and upgraded infrastructure poses significant challenges that can impact the well-being of its citizens.

From the roads that commuters travel daily to the pipes that supply natural gas, reliable water, and wastewater management, the condition of our infrastructure directly affects the safety and quality of life for families. We want to improve our streets and sidewalks to enhance our ability to navigate through the community and improve the overall appearance and vitality.

To address these pressing issues, Alderman Williams advocates for a comprehensive approach that improves our roads and cross drains, upgrades utilities, and invests in innovative solutions such as broadband, green transportation, water meter, natural gas meter and natural gas expansion. This will empower citizens to stay connected to global job opportunities, enabling families to excel in their careers while working from the comfort of their own community.

Alderman Williams is a longtime champion for digital equity. He has collaborated with Media Justice to raise awareness about the lack of broadband access in rural Hinds County. His commitment to bridging the digital divide is unwavering, and he is eager to work with local educational institutions, organizations, and federal partners to advocate for the expansion of broadband access in this underserved area.
