Summary

Economic Development Director Danielle Poe updated the IDA on Westlake housing price points, farmers' markets, Business Appreciation Month outreach, and announced the hiring of Ellie Butcher as Small Business Coordinator to support local businesses.

Danielle Poe briefed the board on several economic-development items: the Westlake housing development (staff discussed price points under development), various farmers' markets across the county, and outreach for Business Appreciation Month. Poe also announced that Ellie Butcher has been hired as Small Business Coordinator to provide additional support for local businesses.

Poe framed these items as complementary to the county's broader economic strategy and Summit View planning. The announcements were presented as staff updates; the board did not take a formal vote on the hiring or on housing price points during the meeting.
