Residents and committee discuss business outreach; in‑town banking flagged as a priority
Summary
At an in‑person meeting Dec. 10 (year not specified in the minutes), the Town of Otis Revitalization Committee and residents praised local businesses, discussed outreach via OWL listserv and town website listings, and identified in‑town banking access as a priority requiring complex solutions.
Members of the Town of Otis Revitalization Committee and attendees used the open forum on December 10 (year not specified in the minutes) to praise local businesses and discuss ways the town can help support small businesses and improve communications.
Cathy Bezoco said she will begin sharing notices of community events with the OWL listserv to boost resident awareness. Committee discussions praised venues including Knox Trail and Otis Ridge for food, service and sponsoring events; speakers also complimented Papa’s and Paige’s for using social media.
Lyn offered to invite businesses to list on the Town of Otis website when they apply for a town business license. Susan Ebitz, TOR Secretary, recommended social media as a vehicle for advertising businesses and acknowledged the local businesses taking advantage of that medium.
Meeting participants also noted that banking in town is a key priority but said resolving it will be complex; the minutes do not record specific proposals or responsible parties for addressing banking access. October and November minutes were revised but approval was tabled because the meeting did not have a quorum. The meeting adjourned at 8:22 PM.
