Bob Lee addressed the continuing street and sewer construction situation and suggested the board look into some kind of promotional campaign to help support the business in the area that are suffering from lack of traffic due to the closures of streets. Board members agreed and Kelly Wallace volunteered to look into the costs and scheduling of a campaign that could bring benefits to the business owners in the area.
