The Committee also aims to retain and expand the quality and variety of retail, recreational, and human services to help diversify our local economy and respond to an ever-changing and vibrant community.
The Town adopted Resolution No. 16-17 on March 16, 2016 authorizing the extension of time to December 14, 2016 on which day the Committee will be delivering a final report to the Council.

Therefore, it is recommended that the Economic Growth Committee remain in existence beyond December 14, 2016 to continue these efforts for the Town.
