NEW BUSINESS

• A discussion was held on all of the improvement work in process and/or completed at the Duck Soundside Shoppes as of the meeting date.

 

• A Village Improvement Program Grant was unanimously awarded to the Soundside Shoppes Owners Association in the amount of $2,500; total project cost was estimated at $7,349.76.

 

• A Village Improvement Program Grant was unanimously awarded to Plum Crazy in the amount of $2,500; total project cost was estimated at $5,800.

 

• A Village Improvement Program Grant was unanimously awarded to Surfside Casuals in the amount of $2,500; total project cost was estimated at $5,200.

 

• The committee discussed the current parameters for awarding Village Improvement Grants. This discussion was based upon the fact that four businesses from the Soundside Shoppes have applied for and received grants; therefore allowing a single shopping center that is doing major work to totally deplete the Village Improvement Grant fund.  The committee decided to leave the parameters the same and monitor grant applications closely in case a recommendation needs to be sent to council revising them.

BOARD COMMENTS
