The EDC is seeking funding for a part-time Administrator/Coordinator. This position has been funded since 2017 (?) on a contracted basis, as the EDC is the only Town-appointed permanent commission without support from the municipal staff. The Administrator/Coordinator is responsible for preparing for EDC meetings (minutes, postings, distribution of materials), maintaining the EDC accounts and coordinating approvals for payments, overseeing selected EDC programs (e.g. the Empty Storefront program), and overseeing the administrative aspects of the EDC's grant program.

The role has in the past been expanded beyond administrative tasks to be a Coordinator position, with responsibilities for engaging with the public, leading various processes, preparing grants, working with grant applicants and other interested parties to advance ideas and proposals that further economic and community development, and to take on ad hoc initiatives as needed.

Depending on the applicants the EDC identifies over the next several months, the budget for this position could be expanded to take into account this broader role.
