Local resident and long time advocate, Nathan Eberly, has pulled petitions to run as an Independent in the 2017 Bowling Green City Council race for one of two At-Large seats on the ballot. As a resident of Bowling Green since 2003 and family roots traced back for many years in the community, Nathan Eberly wishes to see the community stronger with more business investment, job growth, and the full implementation on the Land Use Plan, specifically the East Wooster Corridor with new Mixed-Use Buildings and Business Centers.
“Bowling Green has been my home for over 13 years now, and I see great opportunity for the City to see an increase in business investments, new well-paying jobs, and increased opportunities for all residents and business owners”, provided Nathan Eberly as reason for running for Council.
Eberly believes his financial background in several industries provide him the best opportunity to be the business and fiscal representative on City Council. With the new Land Use Plan and solid relationship with Economic Development groups, Bowling Green can see growth in jobs and business investment. Nathan has had concerns for the slow pace in which work has been accomplished regarding the new plans, which has possibly led to lack of business investment and interest and probably loss of potential jobs in Bowling Green.
“I wish to help usher in a more efficient and effective city governance and Council, which quickly decides upon issues facing our community. I hope to provide leadership that will allow solid connection and working relationship between the City, BGSU, local business owners, and residents alike for solid growth in our town,” Nathan added in his discussion. Further Eberly added, “We have a great opportunity to be a leader in our region for job creation and growth, partnering with BGSU to retain talent in our community, but it will take some changes in Council to assist in making that a reality”.
Nathan Eberly is a Financial Representative for Modern Woodmen of America, with focus on Insurance and Retirement Planning. Formerly a Commercial Lender and Accountant, Eberly has the solid educational background with degrees in Business Management and Finance from the University of Maryland, and work experience necessary to protect Bowling Green as a representative on City Council. Eberly is a member of the Exchange Club of Bowling Green, Bowling Green Toastmasters, and volunteers for various charities in Bowling Green on a regular basis. Though formally aligned with a political party locally, Nathan Eberly has made the decision to be nonpartisan in this race as it reflects his belief that City Council is not a place for partisanship and that Bowling Green deserves the best representation without political leanings.
