The Town of Yarmouth's Community Economic Development Committee (CEDC) held a meeting on January 3, 2025, where members discussed budget allocations and upcoming plans that directly impact the community. A significant decision made during the meeting was the approval of funding for various initiatives aimed at enhancing local economic growth and community engagement.
Committee members unanimously voted to allocate $35,000 for special events, $200,000 for marketing efforts, $50,000 for economic development projects, and $135,073 for public improvements.
