Sean McLendon informed the committee that the Economic Development reorganization would take effect on October 1, 2024. 

Greater Gainesville Chamber of Commerce presented a summary of economic development activities in Alachua County. 

Sean McLendon informed the committee that EDAC could create a subcommittee to meet with municipalities and hear their economic development priorities. The subcommittee would still need to follow the same meeting notice and attendance rules as the full committee. Failure to attend a municipal meeting by a subcommittee member would count against the members overall attendance requirements. Staff will provide agendas and take minutes to share with the full committee. The committee decided they would let staff know if they wanted to serve on the committee by email. The next municipal meeting would be in High Springs. 

No member comments.

The meeting adjourned at 4:04PM
