EDA members ask Town Council for grant-writing help and seek to fill board vacancy
Summary
Members discussed requesting town staff assistance for grant writing and emphasized filling the final OEDA vacancy. Interested residents were asked to contact Chair Katie Schwab, Matt Spuck, or a Town Council member.
Board members discussed asking the Town Council to provide staff assistance with grant writing to support economic development projects. The minutes record members' interest in leveraging town staff capacity for grant applications rather than attempting all grant work internally.
Separately, members noted one board vacancy remains and encouraged anyone interested to reach out to Matt Spuck, Chair Katie Schwab, or a Town Council member. No formal nomination or vote to fill the vacancy occurred at the March 19 meeting; the minutes describe outreach steps rather than a formal appointment process.
The board did not record a timeline or a hiring plan for staff-assisted grant writing; members indicated the Town Council would be the appropriate body to route such a request through and that additional discussion could occur in future meetings or via coordination with town staff.
