Centre Lights Plan Reinstated After Tie Vote
Georgetown council reversed last week’s denial of the Main Street centre lighting plan after a re consult with the town solicitor and a 4 4 tie vote. Drs Cass Emmerson and Burke voted aye while Mayor Hyde urged caution about a mayoral deciding vote. A letter from transport official Cowley supported centre lighting as a future downtown revitalization step with notes on off street parking and safety.
