KELLY LINDSTROM
for Woodbury Council
After years of helping communities navigate growth and development, I'm ready to use that experience to continue serving the city I proudly call home. I believe every decision should answer one simple question: Will this make Woodbury an even better place to live for the next generation?
Building on Thoughtful Growth.
Woodbury's exceptional quality of life didn't happen by chance. It is the result of decades of thoughtful planning, responsible growth, and leaders who made decisions with future generations in mind. I am committed to protecting that legacy while ensuring Woodbury continues to thrive. Woodbury is one of Minnesota's best places to live because generations of residents and community leaders made thoughtful decisions that prioritized safe neighborhoods, outstanding parks, quality city services, and a strong sense of community. As our city continues to grow, our responsibility is not simply to accommodate growth—it is to guide it wisely.
Understanding how land is planned and used is key to thoughtful growth. This interactive map shows current zoning, future land use designations, and how different areas of our community are planned to develop over time
As someone with professional experience in land use and development, I believe understanding our City's long-term plans is essential to making informed decisions. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan provides the framework for how Woodbury will grow while protecting the qualities that make it special.
Planning Responsibly for Tomorrow.
City government should always look beyond today's challenges. Every major decision should consider how it will affect Woodbury 10, 20, and 30 years from now. By planning thoughtfully today, we can leave future generations a city that is financially sound, environmentally responsible, and prepared for continued success.

For more than two decades, I've worked at the intersection of land use, development, and property valuation, helping communities make informed decisions about growth. I understand the long-term impact those decisions have on neighborhoods, businesses, and taxpayers, and I'm committed to helping Woodbury continue to grow thoughtfully while preserving the exceptional quality of life we all value.

Infrastructure First
Roads, water systems, parks, trails, and public safety should keep pace with growth. Planning ahead is more responsible—and more cost-effective—than trying to catch up after growth has already occurred. Smart investments today help prevent bigger challenges tomorrow.
Protect Our Quality of Life
Woodbury's parks, trails, open spaces, neighborhoods, and recreational opportunities are among our greatest strengths. As we grow, we must preserve the quality of life that families and businesses value while maintaining the high level of city services residents expect.
Responsible Stewardship of Taxpayer Dollars
Residents deserve excellent services and responsible financial management. Every public dollar should be invested wisely, with careful consideration of both immediate needs and long-term costs. Good government means making decisions that deliver value while keeping Woodbury financially strong for years to come.

I will approach every decision with integrity, transparency, and a long-term perspective. I will listen to residents, study the facts, and work collaboratively to make thoughtful decisions that reflect our community's values.
Together, we can preserve everything that makes Woodbury exceptional while planning responsibly for the opportunities and challenges ahead.
