Friendly 40b up for revision at EDC meeting Thursday, Nov 12: will the discussion be 'friendly' ???

The agenda for the Economic Development Subcommittee is a full and interesting one. Among the items for discussion are a couple of competing revisions to the Friendly 40b process. 

The Friendly 40b you should recall was passed by the prior Council, and then modified by the current Council with an expiration date of January 2027. A  revision ideally would be approved to continue beyond Jan 2027.

Watch and or participate at the meeting today so see which one gets to move forward, if one does, to the full Town Council.

Meeting at 6 PM, Thursday, Nov 12 in the 3rd Floor Training Room
