EDC debates outreach strategy for local businesses; member urges focus on property owners
Summary
Edward Trygar recommended focusing outreach on property owners and conducting in-person visits rather than mailings; the committee will contact local business applicants and follow up on the Music Center's grant application.
The committee discussed strategies to raise awareness of grant programs and town support for local businesses. Edward Trygar suggested prioritizing outreach to property owners and performing door-to-door contacts because mailed materials appear to be ineffective; the minutes record that Trygar raised this as a suggested shift in approach.
Members noted that some local business owners have already applied for grants: Emad S Lawandi Esq. and Amin Moawad both reported they have applied for business grants. The committee agreed to reach out to Mrs. Bongiovi to check on the Music Center's application progress and to use confirmed applicants as outreach examples.
