The council approved a special permit for Revel Balloon Company LLC on June 25 to operate a balloon‑decor and party retail business at 145A Summit Street.
Owner Chrissy Emerson described the business as a small, community‑focused pick‑up and grab‑and‑go operation aimed at local families: "I bring joy to all," she said. Councilors supported the proposal and discussed safe storage of helium tanks; Emerson said she sources helium from a provider and has required safety apparatus and storage below thresholds that would require extra oversight.
Councilor Welton proposed hours of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week to provide flexibility for pickups; the council approved the special permit by roll call, 11–0.
