STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES
Strengths: The citizens of Salem have a government and City Health Department that offers numerous resources. The recycling center is a great resource available to everyone that is free and centrally located. Salem's government has also designated .25% of every citizen's property taxes to go specifically toward fixing streets, sidewalks, and parking lots which will benefit everyone. Also, the Salem Area Sustainable Opportunity Development Center is a wonderful resource for attracting new businesses to the city.
Weaknesses: The community services Salem's government offers are not well advertised and their websites are brief on information. Salem could benefit from a campaign to let it's residents know everything their government makes available for them. Additionally, there is not much diversity in elected official positions. Persons of various ethnic backgrounds or women may not feel that they are well represented in this community.
