Economic Development Commission

Established by the Town Council April 16, 1992

Reorganized and combined with the Chepachet Village Economic Council May 19, 1994.

CHARGE:
Will examine, formulate and recommend a comprehensive economic development program to the Council. Economic Development Commission will concentrate its efforts on the Tourism/Retail implications for the Chepachet Historic District and related Historic features of the Town of Glocester.

AMENDED CHARGE - DECEMBER 21, 1995:
GLOCESTER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
GEDC will examine, formulate and recommend an economic development program to the Town Council. The program should be consistent with the goals stated in Glocester's Comprehensive Community Plan:

  1. To allow for future economic development to occur that does not conflict with or degrade the desirable attributes of the Town and that help sustain the Glocester Vision.
  2. Prevent traditional problems created by economic growth, such as environmental degradation, dramatic changes to community character, unsightly highway strip development, from occurring in the Town.
  3. Broaden and diversify the Town's economic base to reduce the residential sector's property tax burden.
  4. Encourage efforts that use the natural features of Glocester as an inducement to foster economic activity and growth.

Recommendations stated on pages 21-23 and general information on pp 70-76 of the Comp. Plan should be reviewed and considered by the Commission. GEDC's primary and joint responsibilities regarding the implementation of the Comprehensive Community Plan are described on pages 39-43.
