EDC notes cannabis approvals, will pursue Chamber outreach and an Ag Navigator briefing
Summary
The Red Hook Economic Development Committee recorded recent cannabis approvals, tasked a member to check Chamber participation, and agreed to invite the County’s new Ag Navigator to brief the committee on farm economic supports.
At its Sept. 11 meeting, the Red Hook Economic Development Committee recorded that the Upstate Pines cannabis project has been approved and that the Lofty cannabis dispensary has been licensed. The updates were entered into the meeting record without an identified presenter in the transcript.
Vanessa Shafer said she would check with Agatha Bacelar about Bacelar’s potential participation in future EDC meetings to strengthen ties with the Red Hook Chamber of Commerce. Melkorka Kjarval, deputy mayor of the Village of Red Hook, proposed inviting the County’s newly created Ag Navigator — described in the meeting as a full-time farm "economic health care" advisor — to present to the committee about the position and services it will provide.
The items were recorded as updates; no formal funding decisions or ordinance actions were taken. The committee set its next meeting for 8:40 a.m. on Sept. 25, 2024 at the Village Building.
