Agenda document Watch

What's on this agenda

A resolution would grant Forge Battery, Inc. an economic incentive agreement, and the council opens what could be a two-month process on rezoning Town Center's Phase I Main Street Planned Development. Both come up as public hearings tonight; the rezoning hearing is scheduled to continue January 9, with a vote set for January 23.

The schedule did not hold. Snow closed the council's 9 January meeting, so the continued hearing and the vote both landed on 23 January, when the council took the case up again. The rest of this agenda covers a resolution adding parks and recreation positions, adoption of the town's 2024 meeting calendar, appointments to advisory committees, and a Department of Justice grant that would fund a police detective position.

Summarized from the published agenda. Read the agenda itself before acting on it.
