November 18, 2010 meeting was a joint workshop with Planning and Zoning. No regular business took place. Copy of minutes put on file.
Public Participation and Comments:
Juliett Leeming, Senior Planner and Zoning Official attended the meeting to discuss forming a new committee.
She would like at least two members from each commission or committee to discuss the current needs of the town. This would need to be included in commission budgets so it must be decided by early January. She wants to incorporate all viable ideas.
It could be helpful if we were able to create project ready locations for new business.
This may include an economic study being updated by an outside company. There may be grants available to do this.
The ten year Plan of Conservation and Development will be done 2013 and should be updated with the current needs of the town.
