Committee backs new Economic Development Director position
Summary
The committee recommended Article 23 to fund a new Economic Development Director position in 2026 at $121,578 (salary and benefits), saying the role would lead strategic planning and help expand the downtown tax base.
The Budget Committee unanimously recommended Article 23 on Jan. 8, a proposal to establish an Economic Development Director position with a 2026 salary-and-benefits total of $121,578.
Molly McCoy St. Jean moved the recommendation and committee members described several benefits, including an in-town strategic plan controlled by the town rather than shared arrangements and opportunities to broaden the tax base downtown. The minutes note the salary figure could be amended at the deliberative session.
The item will go to the public hearing and deliberative session where voters will review the proposed position and funding.
