Councilwoman Henderson presented the committee with a draft previously written for approval. The committee approved moving forward to seek approval from the City Council.
The committee was then asked by Mayor Pennington to ask the BCEDC to prepare an economic impact study of how the locating of the prison in Warren will impact the community economically.
