Committee discusses chamber representative status; applicant Robin Cornell introduces herself
Summary
Members debated whether the chamber representative must be a chamber member, agreed to table that question, and heard applicant Robin Cornell introduce herself as a businessperson interested in helping fill empty storefronts.
Chair reported Robbie had served as the Chamber of Commerce representative and raised whether a town volunteer must hold chamber dues to serve in that role. Speaker 2 asked to table the question about chamber representation; members seconded and voted in favor to table the item.
The committee then heard an application from Robin Cornell, who introduced herself as a long-time Dighton resident and small-business owner with an MBA. Cornell said, "My desire to join the committee is that I would really like to see more businesses in town, utilizing the empty space," and described interest in Spring Street revamping and bringing services to town. The committee did not vote on her application at this meeting and said it would follow up after clarifying the chamber representative status with the Chamber of Commerce.
