MIDDLE GROUND BY LAUREN HEATON Maintain the business focus Village Council’s decision to knit together a solution that helped to anchor e-Health Data Solutions in the community was creative and neces- sary. The loan to divide the professional of�ce space at Creative Memo- ries will provide opportunities for other businesses that need to grow and would like to do so in Yellow Springs. While the solution came together in a hurry over the past two weeks, the issue is not a new one. EHDS has been looking for a bigger and more professional-looking of�ce space for at least two years. In fact several local businesses have been looking for class A of�ce space in town for many years. And during those same years, a large amount of class A space at Creative Memories has sat largely empty, while a little over $30,000 in the Village revolving loan fund has also sat idle. Several Coun- cil members commented during Monday’s meeting to approve the loan that the process was messy due to the lack of economic policy in place. But having economic policy in place wouldn’t have automatically resolved eHDS’s needs. Village Council does still need to establish clear criteria for assisting businesses and clarifying what kinds of tools it will use to provide such assistance. And having Economic Sustainability Coordinator Sarah Wild- man and the Economic Sustainability Commission in place has and will continue to help push that through. But in the end, every business has its own particular needs, and the Village must use the resources available to try to meet those needs. It hasn’t always done so in the past, and not because the tools weren’t available. EHDS is an entrenched local business with savvy leaders who know how PHOTO BY MEGAN BACHMAN to get their needs met.
