The Gray Town Council hereby provides notice that it will hold a public hearing at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 6, 2018, in the Council Chambers at Town Hall, at the Henry Pennell Municipal Complex located at 24 Main Street, Gray, Maine, for purposes of receiving public comments on the designation of the proposed new Village Area Improvement Municipal Development Tax Increment Financing District and the adoption of a Development Program for said new District pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 206 of Title 30-A of the Maine Revised Statutes, as amended.
