Board of Trustees · March 5, 2025

Summary

Village Administrator Walton introduced Sam Harnack as Savoy's new Economic Developer. Trustees opted not to pursue a special census after U.S. Census Bureau cost estimates suggested it was not fiscally responsible; Walton said the Village would refocus efforts toward the 2030 Census and follow up on Lake Falls plans.

Village Administrator Christopher Walton introduced Sam Harnack as the Village's new Economic Developer and thanked the Board for its efforts to advance the Village's economic development initiatives.

Trustee Niccum asked whether the Village would proceed with a special census. Walton said that, based on cost estimates provided to the Village by the U.S. Census Bureau, a special census did not appear to be fiscally responsible at this time. President Brown added that the Census Bureau estimate required the Village to review entire census tracts. Walton suggested allowing current developments to complete and refocusing efforts on the 2030 Census.

Trustee Niccum also asked whether the Village had received plans for the next phase of the Lake Falls development; Walton said he would look into the matter and report back to the Board.
