After reading the plan, Julie had some questions and concerns. Julie recommended that the Board take this plan and read it from cover to cover and make sure that it says what the Board intends for it to say before putting it to a vote. There is new wording referencing child care, strip mall, energy and village center. Jeremy talked about Act 248 energy regulation about preferred sites. Jeremy explained that the wording of the energy piece is a legal framework and more like a regulation where it is not a statute, but it ties into state statutes.
