Wilmington Selectboard approves 1% funds for business in uncommon motion

WILMINGTON — The Wilmington Selectboard approved a 1% local option request for WheelPad L3C at its regular meeting Tuesday evening. It was unusual, as the funding hasn’t historically been awarded to or considered for businesses. Although the motion carried, selectboard member Charlie Foster opposed the decision. 
With the approval, WheelPad will add $50,000 to its capital improvement fund, which WheelPad founder and President Julie Lineberger said will help develop a local labor program for early career professionals.
