Economic development subcommittee Plus meeting opens at 5:35 PM, agenda doc online franklinma.gov/sites/g/files/… #edc0608 Jones remote, others in person. Chair Hamblen, members Sheridan, Frongillo, Hunchard, Wierling, Rondeau present

Jamie provides update on the timeline which is included in the memo/agenda #edc0608 proposal for each member to choose a 'top 3', given 7 members, 3 votes, and 11 recommendations, there should be a bubble up affect seen to get some priority on what should be done

Settling in Aug 10 for the next committee date, need time after the report is released to review discuss, etc. 6 PM settled on time for date 8/10/22 - to pick each person's priority for that meeting #edc0608

Good healthy discussion on the priorities and how to determine them, choice of the 8/10 date is good for final report digestion, state regulations should be settled by then, etc. #edc0608 this is a great example of government by the people, for the people, it takes time

Emma adds that a transportation person will be drawn in to add to the report as traffic has been a key discussion point. #edc0608 ? On overlay district, how does it work? Currently the marijuana districts are overlays as an example

Discussion on the lack of a 'mixed use' definition is a key determination for other related items. #edc0608 housing gets into affordable, 'Franklin for All', maintain the 40B percent, traffic, etc. Suggestion to have the materials available for other discussions post stroll

Reminder to come to the booth, near Rockland Trust, corner of Dean and Main St to 'reimagine' Franklin #edc0608
Motion to adjourn, passes 7-0 via roll call.

Stay tuned for the Town Council meeting coming up at 7 PM #edc0608
