The board heard presentations by Erik Anderson on the Elsinore Theatre’s proposed facade upgrades, and by Steve Williams, Salem Public Works, on the City’s application for a grant to fund planning of improvements to the railroad grade crossing on Front Street.

There being no further business before the board, the Chair adjourned the meeting at 6:45. pm.
