Committee Established
The Board of Selectmen, at its meeting on September 14, 2015, voted to establish an Economic Development Committee to advise the Board of Selectmen, Planning Board and other land use regulatory and advisory committees on matters related to economic development and to support, promote, encourage and advocate for projects that expand the Town’s commercial and industrial tax base in a manner that strengthens the local economy and diversifies the tax base consistent with the character of our community. The committee shall work to maintain interactive relationships to effectively address emergent issues with other committees from a business perspective through the appointment of liaisons to other land use regulatory and advisory committees.
In January 2020 the Board of Selectmen voted to adjust the Committee composition requirements and appointment terms.
