Meet Mayor Treat

Mayor Treat Knows, Lives, and Leads Bryant

About Chris Treat

Bryant is home to me. I was born here, I was raised here, and I’ve watched this community grow and change over the years.

When I first ran for mayor, I knew Bryant was growing and that we had some important work ahead of us. I also knew we couldn’t just keep reacting to problems as they came up. We needed to take a step back, listen to our residents, and make a plan for where we wanted Bryant to go.

That’s what these last three years have been about.

We’ve listened. We’ve improved communication. We’ve addressed problems that needed attention. And we’ve put plans in place for our water, wastewater, drainage, streets, and future growth.

Now, we’re ready for the next step.

The next four years are about taking those plans off the shelf and putting them to work — improving our infrastructure, strengthening public safety, managing growth responsibly, supporting our business community, and continuing to make Bryant a great place to live.

I don’t believe the mayor’s job is about one person. It’s about bringing people together, listening to different perspectives, and doing what’s best for the community we all call home.

Bryant is moving forward, and I want to keep working with you to make sure we do it the right way.

I’m asking for your vote because I believe the best days for Bryant are still ahead of us. We’ve done the planning. We know what needs to be done.

Now, let’s get to work.

Promises > Progress

From Planning to Implementation

Over the past three years, we’ve focused on building a strong foundation for Bryant’s future. We listened to residents, identified the challenges ahead, and put plans in place to address them.

Now, the work moves into the next phase.

2024–2026 was about planning. 2027–2030 will be about implementation.

The next four years are about taking the plans we’ve developed and turning them into projects, improvements, and results that residents can see throughout Bryant.

2024–2026

  • Give residents more opportunities to identify neighborhood needs and work with city departments on solutions

  • Begin widening Springhill Road
  • Give the Street Department more ability to complete work in-house
  • Continue addressing infrastructure needs before they become larger, more expensive problems
2024–2026

Understanding Our Growth

Responsible economic development starts with knowing what is happening in our community and building strong relationships with the people helping Bryant grow.

  • Increased focus on business and economic growth data
  • Strengthened involvement with the Bryant Chamber of Commerce
  • Built stronger relationships with the local business community
  • Used better information to understand Bryant’s economic opportunities and challenges

  • Modernize land-use policies and zoning
  • Guide development toward the right locations and uses
  • Generate additional city revenue without putting more pressure on infrastructure
  • Rein in unnecessary sprawl
  • Encourage growth that pays its way and protects Bryant’s quality of life
