During a recent government meeting, city officials discussed ongoing efforts to enhance business incentives and provide clearer information to potential investors. A key focus was the development of a comprehensive online resource detailing various incentives available to businesses, including grants, tax incentives, and historic district benefits. This initiative aims to ensure that both businesses and council members are aware of the full range of opportunities the city offers, which may not be widely known.

The city is currently working on this project, with expectations for completion in the coming months. Officials emphasized the importance of transparency and accessibility in promoting these incentives, which could potentially attract more businesses to the area.

Additionally, updates were provided on two demolition projects approved in September. The city manager confirmed that these projects are on track to be completed by the end of the year, following a recent change order signed with the contractor.

The meeting also touched on the status of the POTA (Property Owner Tax Abatement) applications, with four businesses having submitted their requests to the state. City officials expressed optimism about moving forward with this process, indicating that their part has been completed and the applications are now in the hands of state authorities.

Overall, the discussions highlighted the city's commitment to fostering a supportive environment for businesses while ensuring that relevant information is readily available to all stakeholders.
