Explanation

BACKGROUND: On April 28, 2006, the Development Department entered into an Agreement with the Greater Linden Development Corporation (GLDC) DL011923 for $51,300, expiring January 31, 2007, for administrative costs associated with the organization.

Currently, $9,167.58 remains from the Greater Linden Paint Program, which can no longer go forward due to federal regulations.

Emergency action is requested to allow the Greater Linden Development Corporation to continue their economic development initiatives.
