BEACON FALLS Officials have reached an agreement with the Naugatuck Economic Development Corporation to provide economic development services to the town through the rest of this fiscal year.
The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved the agreement at its Feb. 8 meeting. The agreement still needs to be approved by the NEDC Board of Directors, which is scheduled to meet Feb. 22.
“I think it’s in our best interest as we don’t have really any economic representation right now and NEDC, from what I can tell, they should be an asset helping the town move forward and bringing further economic development to the town,” First Selectman Gerard Smith said during the meeting.
