Town Council approved a contract with the Arlington-based "CLUE Group" to provide economic development consulting services. The contract calls for spending no more than $34,000 of the town's $50,000 economic development program budget.

"The CLUE Group," according to Town Administrator Martha Semmes, will be "working with our business community and other downtown stakeholders to create business development and marketing strategies and a 'business toolkit' for our downtown businesses."
