EDAC presents pledge, business outreach and asks council to focus next meeting on budget
Summary
The Economic Development Advisory Committee shared a written pledge outlining five core duties, reported progress on signage and business outreach in Dillon, and asked council to let EDAC dedicate its next meeting to the town budget to identify priority areas for the coming year.
An EDAC representative told the council the committee has drafted an "EDAC pledge" clarifying its advisory role and five core duties—loyalty to the town, competence, candor, advisory boundaries and public trust—and offered to share the written pledge with staff and council. The speaker said EDAC's credibility comes from the quality of its analysis and factual integrity, not political power.
EDAC highlighted specific wins this summer, including updated wayfinding and sale signage in the town core and closer collaboration with town staff (Evan Dawson, Jonathan Blank, Ned West) on signage and business-occupancy surveys. "We're just excited to kind of see momentum building with our business community here in Dillon," the EDAC member said. EDAC asked council to allow its next meeting to focus on the town budget so the committee can recommend one or two focused projects for the next six months.
