Guests: Vanessa Farr, Consultant to Town Planning & Development Dept.
Darla was delayed in arriving so in the interst of time, Thad began introductions, and welcomed guest Vanessa Farr.
Vanessa presented several visuals of Town’s proposed development possibilities, some of which are already underway. She has been consulting with No. Yarmouth for a year on Economic Development and Strategic Planning. Land use is critical to this master plan. Her charge is to offer development options that create optimal use of Town Center while maintaining a respect for the historic character of the Town.
Business Meeting:
Treasurer reports balance currently $3809.29.
Trade show venue, costs of sponsorship, and the decision was made to postpone the trade show to a later date, Spring 2020, perhaps when the new Westcustogo is complete. Darla will talk with the Town to determine if we can schedule a firm date in the new facility. Many members just didn’t have enough lead time to meet the May 3rd date.
Marilyn Matthews will contact Chris at Toddy Brook to cancel trade show date. We will still have the annual meeting 5/16/19 at Toddy Brook.
Thaddeus will review nominating bylaws to make sure we have adequate time prior to meeting. He and Scott Kerr comprise the nominating committee.
