If re-elected for another four year term, Mayor Snyder has two targets he would like to pursue. The first being getting something done with the old facilities of the former Lincoln Developmental Center, which has been vacant for over ten years now. Mayor Snyder also would like to see some improvements made to 5th Street, which is an old farm road that has seen housing and business development build up around it.
