Town to brief EDC next month on stormwater utility fee effective July 1

Mark informed the committee that a stormwater utility fee approved at a recent town meeting will come into effect on July 1 and apply to both residents and businesses. He said Chris from the Department of Public Works will present to the committee next month to explain details and answer questions.

Mark urged members to research the fee ahead of the DPW presentation so they can bring substantive questions. "Chris from DPW is gonna come in next month to speak to us on this," he said. No additional fee details were provided during the meeting; Mark recommended members gather questions and suggested that the DPW briefing will clarify how the fee affects large property owners and businesses.

Next step: committee will receive a DPW presentation and Q&A at the next meeting; members were asked to prepare questions about impacts on businesses and properties.
