(-' Mr. Dolan asked whether one of the conditions of the Erin's Centre special permit was
that no certificates of occupancy be granted until aU the trucks were removed from the
site. Mr. Burke said he would check that.
Mr. Burke explained Mansfield has joined nine other area communities in an Economic
Target Area application, which was submitted several weeks ago. The application was
tabled by the Mass Office of Business Development; Mr. Burke attended a meeting this
week regarding the application and found that office is not supportive of the application.
The committee has requested supplemental information, which will be provided in time
for a second meeting at the end of May. Mr. Burke explained the ETA would allow
towns to go to town meeting to do tax increment financing at the local level, as well as at
the state level. He said an ETA would be helpful to have in place for a site like
Hatheway-Patterson.
Mr. Dolan asked about the plans for Route 106. Mr. Burke said the original proposal was
to repair that road to the Easton town line, but it has not gone out to bid. He said the
funding for the design is in place, about $700,000.
Mr. Burke said work on the bike path has begun, and the groundbreaking ceremony will
be April 28.
