Joshua Vallee

Josh moved to Charlestown because he loves the rural lifestyle that Charlestown offers and because it is a wonderful place to raise his two children. Josh has a demanding job, manages a small business, and operates a small farm with animals, but he has stepped forward to serve on the Town Council to ensure that Charlestown remains a town with abundant natural resources where his own children and future generations will want to live. Josh is concerned about the expansion of existing quarries and sand and gravel operations, which clear forest and blast bedrock, shake foundations and impact wetlands,  groundwater, and air quality. He believes we are fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful communities on the East Coast, but to protect that, Josh believes we need to continue to conserve land for hiking trails and access to the Pawcatuck River in order to protect our drinking water, preserve wildlife habitat, and protect dark skies, all of which will support our economy in the long term.

Josh is grounded in physical work too, earning money after graduate school with his own business pouring residential concrete foundations. And Josh also manages a small business as co-owner of a veterinary clinic. Josh brings a broad range of management experience to the governance of Charlestown.
