Troy Vickers officially announced that he is running for Fairhope City Council, Place 1.
As the president of VOGEHS Consulting, LLC, Vickers said he brings “decades of experience in: environmental & safety compliance, project and crisis management, infrastructure and regulatory strategy, government advocacy and leadership."
Vickers’ resume includes construction management, environmental protection and public safety, all issues he would focus on in Fairhope.
“The Citizens of Fairhope need someone who will listen to them first and foremost,” Vickers said. “I don’t have all the answers, and I will never make anyone feel like their ideas have no value. Who I am is someone with decades of experience looking into problems and finding collaborative ways to solve problems as a community.”
Specifically, Vickers said his priorities would be prioritizing infrastructure over reckless development, implementing a conservative budget, eliminating local grocery and prescription sales tax, expanding hospital capacity and protecting Mobile Bay.
“I’m running for strong values, real solutions and Fairhope first,” Vickers stated. “I have a unique set of talents and skills that will help with long-term planning, project implementation and responsible controlled growth for Fairhope.”
Troy and his wife, Diane, are members of 3 Circle Church and are active in Theater 98 and the Eastern Shore Art Center. They have two daughters and six grandchildren.
