Pre-Meeting Notes: 20240917 RDC Pre-Meeting Notes

• • Add: “Year-in-Review and Next Steps.”  This should support the content for the annual report and would represent our “strategy.” 
  • We have agreed to an EDA concept that was pioneered by Helmsburg.  This can be used in support of  the development of the County Comprehensive Plan. A consultant for the Comp Plan was selected on Sept 5. The plan will be completed in phases. Phase I is funded for about  37K. About 26K of this needs to be committed/spent by the end of the year.  Total cost to complete the plan was estimated at 80K.
  • Commissioners, Council, and the APC need to be briefed on the EDA concept.  Commissioners, Council and Precint chairs represent “areas.”  The county zoning map identifies the types of zoning in a respective area. This information needs to include the type of development that is allowed for each zoning category.
  • Bill – On “Minutes,”  you reference an assumption that an EDA is only successful if there is a TIF.  An EDA includes a community-developed economic plan. Portions of the Helmsburg plan were executed with private money and investment from Habitat.  The EDA and plan also provided the foundation (shared vision) for their CDC. An EDA supports funding from the county (they got about 5K) and allows the RDC to acquire and dispose of property. The EDA also supported the justifification for funding for the storm water project.
