[16] According to his campaign website, Greimel planned to spend more money on Pontiac's roads, specifically the Woodward Avenue loop, to improve access to downtown.
During his time in the state legislature, Greimel called on former Governor Rick Snyder to resign after the Flint water crisis.
This included consistent and accessible permits, moving the Farmer's Market downtown, facilitating free entrepreneurship classes, implementing more Pontiac-specific policies, and promoting women-and-minority-owned businesses.
[20] During his mayoralty, Greimel worked with Oakland County officials to redevelop Pontiac's downtown area and increase foot traffic.
Greimel expected the increased foot traffic from county employees and the new city center would boost economic activity in Pontiac's downtown area.
The redevelopment project is expected to cost around $120–130 million, most of which would come from the state, Oakland County, and the American Rescue Plan Act.
[20] Greimel said the downtown redevelopment plan "will ensure the city owns a large space that can facilitate outdoor concerts and serve as a town square and public place for the community".
