FM #514 - Economic Development SubComm Mtg - 04/14/14

The meeting was conducted in a hybrid format: two of the Economic Development subcommittee members, Town Administrator and key personnel, were in the Council Chambers; two subcommittee members joined the public via conference bridge, all to adhere to the ‘social distancing’ requirements of this pandemic period.

Quick Recap:

• A couple of agenda items from meeting Apr 7 not covered in time allotted, so this session was added also in a meeting slot before the Town Council meeting. Discussion was healthy and in the time allotted
• Grants submitted for a variety of work desired, what can or should get done with or without grant discussed
• NuStyle back in discussion as the prior agreement to sell ultimately fell through; who will buy (and how) is best case scenario as the Town would spend more than a private party would to clean up the 'brown field' and we don't have the money to start the clean up with

Links to the meeting agenda and associated documents are included in the show notes. The recording runs about 63 minutes, so let’s listen to the Economic Development Subcommittee meeting.
