Town Manager Rommel Pazmino read an email from property manager Joe Caputo updating the council that the Dollar Tree lease for the shopping center is expected to be finalized soon and that grant funds would be used for awning removal, signage, dumpster enclosures and exterior painting; paving could be funded by the landlord.
Pazmino said the council discussed setting an end-of-September deadline for the landlord to execute the lease and move forward with grant-eligible facade work, and that the council would follow up formally at its Aug. 17 meeting if no firm commitment is received. No formal grant approval or contract action occurred at the workshop; the item was a status update and timeline discussion.
Councilmembers asked staff to coordinate next steps and track the lease execution to determine grant eligibility and timing.
