  1. Public Comment: Ms. Koren and Mr. Elzey reported on a Sept. 26 meeting of interested citizens seeking to have Pond Village regain eligibility as a Designated Village Center under the state program offered by the Agency of Commerce & Community Development, Department of Housing and Community Development. Mr. Haggett had also attended the meeting. Pond Village had previously been included in the program, but the designation had lapsed. The program has the potential to improve access to grants, financial incentives, and tax credits for development in Pond Village, along with encouraging potential buyers for business properties available in the area. The Board suggested that the proposed coverage area might be extended east on Route 65 to include the Post Office property. The Board encouraged Ms. Koren and Mr. Elzey to move forward with drafting an application for the program, which would subsequently be submitted to the Board for approval and forwarding to the state DHCD.
