Economic development top priority for Concord City Council

Economic development will be a top priority for the new Concord City Council.
With two new councilors sworn in earlier this month, the group met Monday night to set its goals.
A number of priorities carried over from years past, but the need to grow the tax base and attract new jobs was an undercurrent to the entire discussion.
Mayor Jim Bouley and other councilors have said they want to use the Main Street project as a platform to jump into a more focused and targeted economic development strategy.
