Offerings

What makes Parziale stand out? He has a strong desire to make himself available to speak with the citizens of Attleboro to allow their voice to be heard. If elected Parziale plans to visit a location in the city bi-weekly such as the orto allow residents a chance to discuss their concerns face to face.

Parziale's desire to represent Attleboro as a city councilor stems from his vision to see the city he loves continue to be a safe, prosperous and welcoming community for future generations.    

Parziale states that it is essential that the residents of Attleboro know that they can trust that their elected officials are held accountable and are working in their best interest. He would love to work to develop new and innovative ideas for the city to be self supporting without having to look to or rely on the state for funding.

Issues that Matter

If elected, Parziale says his goal would be to meet with the taxpayer to hear their issues and suggestions and to work diligently to come up with new ways to solve issues facing the city. One of his more pressing concerns is bringing business back into Attleboro.

"There are far too many vacant buildings in the city and we need to work together for a creative approach to bring new industry to Attleboro".  

Parziale states that he feels it is important for the city to plan for a new high school to be built as "placing band aids on the existing building will most likely cost more in the long term."

He also would like to see a new on ramp and off ramp built in South Attleboro to increase access to local business. 

Parziale went on to say that he would be proud to be part of making the City of Attleboro a positive example for other cities by being responsible, self supporting, having a balanced budget and ultimately providing a strong sense of community where people want to live and raise their families.
