    4. Edgecomb Lobster Pound/Deli/Pub expressed concerns about tying their water and sewage to the projected service for the Sheepscot River Inn under terms of the recently approved TIF District. Rodd pointed out that it will take considerable time before the pipes are laid and made available for use. The Town must wait for the Inter-Governmental Agreement to be drawn between Edgecomb and Wiscasset. Nothing can be built before this IGA has been signed. Tom Hibbert said their lawyer has advised creating a second TIF of their own; however, it was pointed out, TIF Districts are governmental entities for the express purpose of providing infrastructure. Jim Hall expressed his willingness to provide land of his own to accommodate an additional pumping station. Rodd said, if ELPDP wants to hook up soon, it would have to be at their own expense, some $300,000 estimated cost. Citing the interest of other nearby Davis Island businesses, Hibbert said one complication may be the need to lead hook-up conduits under the surface of Route 1, which will entail many MDOT permits. Messrs. Hibbert and Hall were advised to prepare their plans (financing, engineering, et al.) for presentation in support of a second TIF District at the 2005 Edgecomb Town Meeting.

    1. Work must begin on drafting the 2004-5 Town Report and 2005 Town Warrant.
