About James Fouts

Serving as the chief executive of the City of Warren, the Mayor has amassed an impressive portfolio of accomplishments and implemented reforms, which have directly led to the improvement in the quality of life for Warren residents. In order to further support and expand these initiatives, the Mayor focused on creating an environment that stimulates job creation by attracting Fortune 500 businesses’ and high-tech industry to improve and diversify Warren’s economy, and create jobs for its residents. The Mayor championed efforts to bring companies such as General Motors and Chrysler Corporation and many other research and manufacturing businesses to the City of Warren. General Motors have invested $1 billion in a new GM Technical Center, and Chrysler has invested in developing its Manufacturing Complex, which produces the company’s Ram and Dakota models. In addition to many other research and manufacturing operations, the Mayors initiatives have also brought new developments, new shopping centers, and new supermarkets to the City of Warren. Enhancing this economic development activity is the steady decrease in both property crimes and violent crimes. Public Safety, being a central focus of Mayor James Fouts’ administration, continues to produce results. Through a coordinated approach with local law enforcement, such as blight sweeps and police sweeps, the Mayor’s revitalization initiatives have greatly increased the quality of life for the residents of Warren. His unique approach to solving problems has resulted in a first of its kind, public-private partnership that has set a comprehensive plan in motion to continue Warren on its path of enhancing its economic future.
