She stated in a previous Patch article that she believes the biggest issue facing Richmond Heights is to complete the Hadley Township redevelopment.

"Currently, Hadley Township has many vacant properties and is experiencing blight. I believe we need to find a redevelopment plan that works for all residents," Moylan said.
