MERIDIAN, Miss. (Queen City Newsfeed) – Joy L. Finley, a candidate for Meridian City Council Ward 3, has outlined her priorities and vision for the city in an exclusive interview with Queen City Newsfeed. A Meridian native who moved away before returning in 2020, Finley is focused on addressing key local issues, including crime, cleanliness, and economic growth.
Finley is committed to improving public safety in Ward 3 and is actively working to address concerns surrounding crime. To further engage with the community, she will host a Town Hall event on March 1, 2025, at 3 p.m. at 5th Street Baptist Church on Dale Drive, providing an opportunity for residents to discuss important topics directly with her.
Another key focus for Finley is addressing the ongoing overflow of trash and waste in Ward 3. She plans to work collaboratively with the city council and mayor to improve waste management services and ensure neighborhoods are properly maintained.
Finley is also dedicated to empowering Meridian’s residents by providing access to educational and job-training opportunities. With major developments like the new Data Center coming to Lauderdale County, she wants to ensure local residents are prepared to fill the upcoming job openings and contribute to the region’s economic growth.
Throughout her campaign, Finley has emphasized her commitment to service and collaboration with other city leaders, aiming to improve the quality of life for all Meridian residents.
