Summary

During public comment, Morgan Castillo asked about reopening the café as a bakery; Chair Sue Fritz moved the item into the Ideas & Updates section for further discussion at a later time.

Morgan Castillo, a local resident, asked the Clarkfield EDA for guidance on reopening the town café as a bakery during public comments at the Jan. 26 meeting.

"This sounds like it will take more than 3 minutes — let’s make this a discussion topic," said Sue Fritz, the EDA president, after Castillo raised the idea. Board members then addressed the item in the Ideas & Updates section, where Castillo and the board discussed options for a bakery reopening and what the EDA might be able to provide by way of guidance or support.

The board did not commit to specific financial assistance or programs at the meeting; members discussed possible next steps such as connecting Castillo with resources, reviewing available EDA-owned properties and returning to the matter at a future agenda.
