Commissioner Kollmeyer made a suggestion that they talk about projects the Commission would like to put in the new plan to be covered over the next few years. Helen Humes, Morgan County Economic Director, stated that before them was a letter from Tom Warthen, Councilman for the Town of Mooresville, stating some of the projects the town would like to see covered in the new plan. One of the projects is the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant and that it would be up to the full five member council to set some priorities that they feel would benefit the community using TIF 1 funds. She stated the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant was something that would have to be done. With the community growing, the time to do it is rapidly approaching, even though the council has been in a study to indicate when this expansion should be started. She feels it should be at the top of the list. There are two or three economic development projects that they are working right now that will require some funding. They are not a stage right now where they can identify a site; therefore cannot determine needs. She hopes that now or in the future there would be some monies set aside for economic development
