Signature Issues

Reopening Community Centers: Taylor advocated for reopening community centers in Broadacres and Parkview using funding from Athens’ share of the American Rescue Plan. Together with Commissioner Deter Fisher, she was able to secure funding for the Boys and Girls Club to reopen the centers in August 2023.

During the 2022 campaign, Taylor issued a press release detailing her background and areas of focus:

“’Being raised in Nellie B, I was exposed to the disparities of living in low income housing and how it affects those around you as well as the children that come after you,’ says Tiffany, herself a mother of three. In addition to youth development, Tiffany intends to apply her lived expertise to address the affordable housing crisis, equity for low-wage workers and community-based crime prevention as commissioner.”
