We need a win soon! Incubator  Space needed (Arcade men?oned, McCarthy building too). Infrastructure, funding (Grant?), how to spread costs (membership dues, business sponsors, Chambers)  Foster entrepreneurship - Established businesses could be mentors.  Could there be flex space available, e.g., Peconic Landing. Big plus at PL is that residents are many ?mes re?red business owners, execs and creators. Could use them in Incubator regardless.  Libraries could support as possible launch pads to Incubator.  Could also be space for students. Guidance on available internships. Town Beau?fica?on  Funding needed.  Fix entrances to town, e.g., train sta?ons, Laurel former informa?on center.  Have a consistent message about Southold. History, recrea?on, restaurants, amusements, etc.  Most visitors use internet-based informa?on to learn about Southold. Vision for the Town  Where do we want to be in 20+ years, a plan for the community (update to the Comp Plan). A sugges?on to use strongtowns.org.
