A motion to approve the March 7 minutes was made and seconded; the committee voted \"Aye\" and the motion carried. The committee later moved to adjourn and voted in favor.

In old business, a committee member said they will reach out to Steve Clancy, the broker for the Lakeville Hospital property, to ask whether he will agree to highlight the property in the Massachusetts Office of Business Development newsletter. The committee also discussed inviting Maria Marasco, regional director for the Massachusetts Office of Business Development that covers Lakeville, to a future meeting or to the May 24 workshop.

Committee members agreed to post an Economic Development Committee (EDC) event notice and to handle registration and promotional postings through the Chamber, Seed and other partners. No policy or spending decisions were taken in the committee meeting; the actions recorded were procedural (minutes approval and adjournment).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lakeville Economic Development Committee, 4-4-17","oneSentenceSummary","The committee approved March 7 meeting minutes unanimously, scheduled a May 2 meeting to finalize the May 24 workshop, and discussed outreach on the Lakeville Hospital property and invitations to state business development staff.","taxTitle","Town of Lakeville, Plymouth County, Massachusetts","taxId",58187,"location","Massachusetts","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6520001,"Lakeville committee previews police-station schematics; debt-exclusion vote, town meeting dates announced",579,1231000,1810000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5340158-1a89b86b89d0a39c3f6fe647994e32c0&start=1231&end=1810","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5340158-1a89b86b89d0a39c3f6fe647994e32c0/thumbnail_1231000.jpg","/articles/6520001/Massachusetts/Lakeville-committee-previews-police-station-schematics-debt-exclusion-vote-town-meeting-dates-announced","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6520001-8ea44bb21d0be792216bbddf7dc76d0d/orig.mp4?Expires=1775237096&Signature=IzrhUY99~hvfnRRgKkEyRndf-EKQMw~G7qLGoc3YOQOWID3HhD9d3spHkuAu~MX2iAViiXlz1UqHaRJmccUU03KyE0SUiko89mZy1WLpbaWvh~NTaKxu7G7QuKzWegI99lPGkFRjES8YMvK6EOUimE-0Dsu-9cLlf-wVUXBYdKsvc5mCrynDGt9shqdvgktZgx9gUWoZmO5V4-e6J~kmmkCo~Bg18HwrZIvHaXbV~xy8TU18q4PqwKeF4wxdAkgRw8e45Z0QFUTuewSTx4c4qEfOHBvxWefL0832XCzvSt95V9mDYotHTER1SJjNaFaf6160fqooR6JUSdH8p~mBUw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of the Town of Lakeville Economic Development Committee reviewed schematic renderings and site plans for a proposed new police station and discussed related infrastructure and outreach at the April 4 meeting.

A town official presented architectural renderings and explained the design responds to a needs assessment that included time spent at the existing station with the police chief. \"This design was based on a needs assessment that the architect did. So before he even put pencil to paper, he went and spent a day or 2 at the police station talking with the chief,\" the town official said. The schematics show a public community room, prisoner processing and three holding cells, a separate prisoner exit, and a parking layout that could be configured to provide about 135 spaces in an overflow arrangement for adjacent soccer fields.

The official said the building will share a driveway entrance with the park but will include a police-only exit to provide emergency access and to simplify a curb cut on the state road. From an economic-development perspective, the committee discussed running a water main from the corner of the old town hall past the proposed site to a hydrant, which could enable future expansion along Route 18 if neighboring Taunton pursues development.

The committee was told the project is advancing toward a vote: a debt-exclusion question is scheduled for June 6 and town meeting for June 12. The official said the committee and staff will continue public outreach so residents have information before the votes. \"When we do the vote for the debt exclusion, which will be in June, June 6, and then town meeting is June 12, that people will be aware of it and participate in that,\" the official said.

Committee members provided feedback on layout elements and asked for minor changes that will be made before finalization, including placement of prisoner egress and adjustments to locker and custody areas. No formal municipal action or appropriation was taken at the committee meeting on April 4; the items discussed are preliminary schematic designs and planning steps ahead of the scheduled public votes.","Committee members reviewed preliminary police station renderings, discussed infrastructure tie-ins and noted the debt-exclusion vote set for June 6 and town meeting on June 12.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6520006,"Lakeville committee finalizes partners, schedule for May 24 small-business workshop",521,98000,619000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5340158-1a89b86b89d0a39c3f6fe647994e32c0&start=98&end=619","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5340158-1a89b86b89d0a39c3f6fe647994e32c0/thumbnail_98000.jpg","/articles/6520006/Massachusetts/Lakeville-committee-finalizes-partners-schedule-for-May-24-small-business-workshop","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6520006-1f5afdf89af650fadaaaf6123bfc840d/orig.mp4?Expires=1775237096&Signature=h4w-EJaFSQW-05I-8OJsB0MH~qcQuX1iFCdmmctpon1~71xcZa1034OgaJCjQgoQu3L7Y~71DMdZ2-FQkPVfCSbtHS9H-VFVb8qKn-GQJIL3Ll6sYoncnoxH9ENZ-CzR0iTojA3MFUUIa5QAtH4Y7X4o-~ymNyu6h1DGcsvemK-DMumyfzBT~xDBj1L~p8tiGDatEPrGqXYsHAWdhugdsAq6M~RL8iBZm77n2kxj5kPxugnqNu2DkMgNbguaDcbElXWOHZFyL5fQZ7pvr7Og3wndrPOBb0r8BeOensWFdaGG1zgUaNATCxbIEppegcaCDb6QOOX9AfIjA5rbAXDQ1g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Lakeville Economic Development Committee on April 4 confirmed plans for a Small Business Administration workshop to be held May 24 at the public library, and discussed promotion, format and local partners.

A Seed representative, who is coordinating local logistics, said the SBA's Massachusetts district office provided draft flyers and a PowerPoint that will be shortened to allow local partners more time on the program. \"I have coordinated with the representative from the SBA out of the Boston, the Massachusetts district office in Boston, and also with Eastern Bank and with the Chamber of Commerce,\" the Seed representative said. The session is scheduled to run from 5:30 p.m. to about 8 p.m., with the room booked for that span.

Committee members said they want the presentation to be less of a canned lecture and more engaging, and they requested that the SBA presenter shorten the standard two-hour presentation so local partners can speak. \"I'm going to tweak this because I would like to be able to begin promoting it within a couple of weeks,\" the Seed representative said, adding that Eastern Bank will provide food and local businesses such as Baldi's may supply sandwiches.

The committee discussed which organizations the presenter will cover. The Seed representative said the presentation will introduce the SBDC (Small Business Development Center) network, SCORE, the Center for Women in Enterprise and SBA loan programs, and will note micro-lenders and Certified Development Companies (CDCs) such as Seed. \"People think that the SBA lends money, and they don't,\" the Seed representative said, explaining that banks make loans and use SBA guarantees while CDCs act as conduits for certain loan programs.

Committee members agreed that local officials' attendance helps draw residents. The Seed representative said registration would likely be handled locally — either through the Chamber of Commerce (Valerie) or through Seed — and that Eastern Bank and the SBA will promote the event. The group agreed to plan a follow-up committee meeting for May 2 to finalize promotional materials and logistics.

The committee asked staff to circulate a draft flyer for review and said they want to give at least a month’s notice to potential attendees. Details that remain to be finalized include the exact program agenda, finalized flyer text, and whether state-level officials (members referenced as Keiko and Mike Rodricks) will appear and be listed on promotional materials.","The Town of Lakeville Economic Development Committee confirmed partners, a date and logistics for an SBA-backed small-business workshop set for May 24 and discussed promotion, registration and program format.","actionData","errors"]
