- Broaden and diversify the Town's economic base to reduce the residential sector's property tax burden.

Recommendations stated on pages 21-23 and general information on pp 70-76 of the Comp. Plan should be reviewed and considered by the Commission. GEDC's primary and joint responsibilities regarding the
implementation of the Comprehensive Community Plan are described on pages 39-43. EDC BUSINESS INFORMATION FORM
