Nick Walsh
Background and Experience
I am retired from a career in technology sales holding multiple management positions. Most of my career has entailed working with businesses and executives to create win/win solutions that focus on client needs, contracts, and achieving business objectives. While living in the Wynfield neighborhood, I was active in serving on the HOA for three years, the last two as President. I was elected in 2017 as a Huntersville Town Commissioner and served until 2021. I worked diligently to represent and be a voice for all our citizens. As a town representative, I served on the following: Huntersville Regional Chamber of Commerce, Visit Lake Norman Board, Centralina Regional Council, Greenways Trails & Bikeway Commission, Parks & Recreation Commission, Public Art Commission, Planning Coordinating Committee, and Communications Liaison.
Reason for Running
For the past 30 years, Sandi and I have proudly called Huntersville home. We were residents of the Wynfield neighborhood for about 20 years. Once our children went off to college and careers, we decided to move to the Vermillion community and now enjoy being on the east side of Huntersville within walking distance to the downtown area. Our town has much to offer, but we need more people on our board who will put the people and town first. My goal, driven by my passion for Huntersville, is to continue creating an environment where residents can live, work, relax and feel at home.
Values and Priorities
Accelerate targeted road projects by getting them shovel ready to relieve traffic backups.
Prioritize greenways and bikeways that connect our neighborhoods and business center to create a walkable community.
Uphold the Huntersville 2040 Community Plan that envisions central development corridors while protecting rural outlying areas to manage growth and development.
Expand funding for our police and fire departments to support first responders who keep our community safe.
Address the issue of workforce housing so everyone has a place to live in our community.
