into overall planning. Larger plan or template for greenbelt and transportation infrastructure.
Jack Noble - Historic Preservation overlay and someone that represents that interest on the
Economic Development Board.
Gabe Sansing - Agribusiness is an important aspect of the economy in Georgetown. We need
to have the ability to say yes to economic development in Georgetown, which generates a need
to work with the transportation constraints caused by the rivers and IH35.
Charles Parker - Make sure we clarify the vision of what we want Georgetown to look like in the
future, with the City Plans being consistent with that vision. The vision should be some how
created by the citizens of Georgetown.
Sarah Milburn - Template for development should be periodically updated to stay consistent and
we should make an attempt to define why businesses have already made the choice to locate
here in order to use that as a means of attracting new business.
With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:55 p.m.
