David Behr, Economic Development director, reported on prospects seeking location in the Northeast Industrial Park. He also reported the Walkerton Redevelopment Commission had met to formulate plans for the best use of the $30,000 grant obtained from the State. Considered was a sidewalk extention into the 5 Star, Ist Source, Sunshine Holiday Laundry Plaza, removal of the tree and grating from the northeast corner of Michigan and Roosevelt Rd. and repositioning it between Bolze Auto and Walkerton Auto Parts in an "island” with the new decorative style street lights. The money would also be used to pay the "over-run” cost of the repaving of the Roosevelt Rd. gutter cuts. The remaining funds, if any, would be used to purchase trash bins and benches for the downtown area. The president asked for the name of someone interested in chairing the fall Pumpkin Festival Committee. A printout of the Chamber of Commerce by-laws is to be sent to all board members for suggestions of needed changes and/or modifications to update them to meet present day requirements.
