Scott also provided updates on the new town web site, development of which is proceeding well; on the possibility of erecting a sign to replace the sandwich boards at the corner of Main Street; and on the supplementary funding for the Independence Day celebration. So far, $750 has been collected; the goal is $5000. Scott has a few more businesses to visit. Bruce suggested placing donation cans at several of the local businesses; Scott will look into this.
The meeting ended just before 7:00.
