Hon. Chan brought unity to the city and started to make economic developments in the commercial areas. He led the efforts to fix infrastructures, such as roads, sidewalks, water mains and many other projects to enhance the business-friendly environment. At the same time, he led the staff in City Hall to improve customer relations. Within a few years, big business, big shopping centers and hotels are attracted to do business in the city. He broadened the tax base and increased the much-needed tax revenue to the city. At the same time, he improved the parks; fix the roads; plant trees and much more in the residential area. He also worked on the environmental issues. All City facilities changed the lights to LED lights. An electric charging station and a natural gas station were opened. His idea is to keep a small-town atmosphere for the residents but a vibrant commercial area for business.
