This report both summarizes and provides great detail for many Town activities during the year. Economic Development In October, Reading hosted an Economic Development Summit in our beautifully renovated Public Library. Jay Ash, Secretary of Housing and Economic Development for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, congratulated the Town for stringing together years of thoughtful planning efforts, and cited Reading as a model community that he often describes as he tours the state. The Summit in many ways served as the capstone to our recent years of Policy ( 2014), Finances 2015) and Operations ( 2016) work. The Town announced to a room full of developers, financiers and peer community representatives that " Reading is Open for Business!' Improvements included a streamlined permitting process along with robust software, user friendly modern zoning bylaws, and a Board of Selectmen committed to walk the line of neighborhood concerns and development in an open and honest manner. Town Meeting Expands Downtown 40R Smart Growth District In the spring of 2017, Annual Town Meeting got things rolling by overwhelmingly voting to expand the 40R district to the easterly side of Main Street and south to the far side of the train tracks, as shown below: qW Ili TpWN 40R EXPANSION STATION Legend 0 xnn arws affjjV;,;, E v^ c Ss S Lmn ng Diistrbna I DISC D(: a eoay Cb strvcM map by r— n of FReraali( g W ara ss; to@w, Nrakrlif i Iy@YAR7YlWymro((aH M;,n r c9unEk 1f+ fJH' i" v7, d, a TITMII NIaIllAlU, UIIING IyiNm GREET DSGD byENTER 4,), ry I POSTauumll`` IUkYN191 U11 Du S,Y UUkk oEEicE p rmrrgm TMm i u x;mri UUU 1, '; ruauum mrum gym, Oak 1 yaU L.11.......... oa ea nu, a paa a r. 10 , RA9MNEAa! f 6 IIIIii 1' uwm'noiiow( mnum ci muanau, uemnwururu!kauaa, waambW, f).i...... lllm¢m @D. a uNN/711IIUm>B lvlNilN4a' U ll!
