Economic Development by Design recieves contract from the City of Torrington, CT

On a motion by Mr. Cornish, seconded by Mr. Dickinson, the board voted to approve the contract for Economic Development Consulting Services with Robert Van Geons; funds to be drawn from Line Item 0010-0011-5118-0000.
Mayor Quinn informed the board that Mr. Van Geons was taking over while Christina Emery was out on maternity leave and that he (the Mayor) had agreed to use funds from the Administrative Asst. line item in his budget since he felt economic development was a very important issue. He noted that funds were available since the position had been vacant for the better part of the year.
Mayor Quinn reported that Mr. Van Geons will be leaving on Monday to take a similar position in the south and that we may be able to work a contract with the intern presently working on the web site, or hire Mr. Van Geons partner in Economic Development on a part time basis.
