County follows up with Snowy Mountain Development; $3,000 planning grant and vacant-lot maintenance addressed

Staff said they had recently contacted Snowy Mountain Development about the county’s loan payoff and branch-closure questions and mentioned a $3,000 planning grant that could support local visioning work. The staffer said Snowy Mountain representatives expressed interest and that Snowy Mountain staff should attend the upcoming partners meeting because they helped fund the prior Main Street master plan.

Separately, staff reported they had followed up with the city compliance officer about vacant-lot maintenance; the city agreed to coordinate with county staff and designated Will and Lori for follow-up. Staff also said a local resident (Troy) had been the primary source of complaints about weeds and that volunteers had assisted with cleanup.
