July 18, 2024 ABC Board Meeting - 3:00 p.m.

The upcoming ABC Board meeting on July 18th will focus primarily on the proposed revisions to the city's zoning regulations, specifically concerning mixed-use development in the downtown core. Discussions will also center on a review of current grant funding allocations for local arts programs and an update on the ongoing park revitalization project at Elmwood Park. Board members will hear presentations from city planners, arts organizations, and the Parks Department outlining their respective proposals and progress.

A key decision expected at this meeting is a vote on the final draft of the zoning regulation revisions. Public comment will be accepted before this vote, providing an opportunity for residents and business owners to share their perspectives. The Board will also be considering a request from the Elmwood Arts Collective for additional funding to support their summer youth program. Residents interested in downtown development, arts funding, or the future of Elmwood Park are encouraged to attend or view the meeting online.

Finally, the Board will briefly discuss a potential partnership with a neighboring municipality on shared waste management services. While this is in the early stages of consideration, it could potentially impact local residents and businesses through changes to waste collection schedules or fees.
