Participation in a planned North County Business Summit/Cooperaion. The Village is planning to particiapte in a North County Business Summit (tentatively schedule for March 18, 2014) in which Monroe County Business Development Corporation will proposed a cooperative agreement between the communities of South Rockwood, the Village of Carleton, Ash Township and Berlin Township to share the cost of entering into a contract with the BDC to actively promote vacant land in each community. While the BDC hasn't established a cost for the proposed contract, the Village would only have to pay one-quarter of the cost if all four communities agree to participate. The BDC has offered an example of an agreement recently established with a neighboring township. The cost for that neighboring township was about $1,000.00/year. If all four communities agree to a similiar agreement, the cost per community would be $250.00/year, or a savings of $750.00. The agreement should be finalized by July 1, 2014
