-on behalf of Board of Trustees of Town of Elizabeth, Megan Vasquez spoke about the proposed EDZ (economic overlay zone); town’s concerns initially not taken into consideration by county; county is in breach of IGA which was required by DOLA as part of Elizabeth’s Master Plan grant; encouraged county to work with town and follow IGA; Commissioner Thayer said county fully intends to follow IGA - there is a one year moratorium on this currently; Angela Turnis also spoke on behalf of the Elizabeth Board of Trustees regarding EDZ - asked what has changed in the county that requires pushing the EDZ through so quickly (the Gallagher Amendment and lack of commercial development in the county are not new issues); asked why residential is being included in the EDZ if the purpose, per the county, is to add commercial tax base. Commissioner Willcox stated that this is not the appropriate time to discuss these issues. Sam Albrecht said that there will be more public hearings. Commissioner Thayer said that perhaps this process should be titled “multi-use” as opposed to EDZ.
