It was agreed upon to wait to review them further until more applications come in as a handful of others in the trade area mentioned working on them. Mike H. also mentioned that the Chamber through Heart of WI may also have funds to assist if we have more of a need than we have funds through the EEDI grant. Mention was made by Mike H regarding applying for a $1,500 tourism grant. This would help the CDA fund the Rack cards, ads in the Pittsville record, possible social media marketing, and future radio ads. These could be helpful to promote events at the green space, Riverside fall fest, and the new shops at the green space along with other city functions. Motion made by Bob S. second by Chris B. for Mike to apply for the grant. Motion carried. The Market and Static Hair Studio would like to be added to the welcome sign at the city limits.
