The Economic Development & Employment Committee focus is to
consider and plan for opportunities that will enliven the economic
status of the community. It considers access to necessary basic
services, entertainment, upscale amenities, etc. As well, EDE plans
opportunities and spaces for such, to be located conveniently and
appropriately throughout the neighborhood with a viable commercial
corridor in the town's center. Included in the EDE efforts are education
forums for current business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs to
prepare for growth and expansion. The EDE committee also considers
the development and access to training programs, education, and
