Kroger Limited Partnership I, an Ohio limited partnership, has offered to purchase two acres of Town-owned land, bordering Main Street and the soon to be constructed extension of Hickory Avenue, for the sum of $25,000. The purchase will allow construction of a fuel center with an investment of $1.4M and employ 6 individuals.

- ORDINANCE TO ADOPT TOURISM ZONE
The reopening of the Masonic Theatre, coupled with our existing arts and cultural assets, offers new opportunities for tourism related businesses and services in our downtown. One strategy to encourage such economic activity is the creation of a tourism zone as permitted by state code and local incentives granted by the Council on a case by case basis.
The recommended zone for the Town is shown on the attached map.
Local incentives would be limited to new or expanded business with an investment of $150,000 or at least 5 jobs.
RECOMMENDATION: Waive second reading and adopt ordinance
- ORDINANCE ENACTING SECTION 82-21
In order to make it possible for the Commonwealth Attorney to prosecute those who fail to pay parking citation fines within the time allotted, the enactment of this ordinance is needed.
RECOMMENDATION: Waive second reading and adopt ordinance
- APPROPRIATION RESOLUTION
Town Council has previously approved the General Fund Capital Improvement Program for fiscal year 2016-2017 budget. In order to purchase these items in a timely manner, we must borrow the funds via a short term loan. This resolution will allow us to go ahead and purchase items from the list prior to securing the financing terms, and then reimburse the general fund from the loan proceeds when the loan is finalized.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution
