Board Chair Statement My vision for the City of Clarksville, TN is to help Clarksville become a premier and model city where compassion is its foundation, equality are the walls that embraces the efforts of businesses, business leaders, citizens, governmental agencies, schools, religious organizations, civic organizations, non-profits, and all communities, and that unity will be the roof that covers and protect the dreams, ambitions, and deeds of all citizens and guests of Clarksville. On a daily basis I work hard to do my share of feeding the hungry, providing a free community shower and laundry facility for the homeless, and by making sure the citizens of Clarksville/Montgomery County, TN and surrounding areas have adequate clothing, food, and counseling during crisis situation at our Love Center USA, Inc. located at 636 Main Street in the City of Clarksville, TN which was establishment under my guidance and leadership as the pastor of St. John Missionary Baptist Church at 1833 Tiny Town Rd. Since opening the Love Center four years ago, we have service over 50, 000 patrons/customers according to our daily sign-in sheets. My dream is help people remove themselves from the public assistance and find ways and the means of providing for themselves. My vision for Clarksville is to help eradicate poverty, reduce crime, provide a positive and self-fulfilling environment for our youth in order to keep them on track to becoming productive citizens of the community, and help to produce an army of citizens that will become some of the city’s greatest assets! This is my vision for the city of Clarksville, TN.
