The Town Council meeting on May 2, 2024, was called to order at 7:00 p.m.; Council approved the April 18 minutes and no citizens spoke. GTI (Green Thumb Industries) presented an update about odor control: Byers Scientific recommended and GTI installed a molecular (carbon) filtration system and an exterior atomization system, the full system was installed and is planned to be turned on May 15, 2024, with quarterly third‑party testing (with measurements taken with the system on and off); GTI will provide odor metrics, consult on a CFL level for codified metrics, and said it has 207 employees and two licenses (cultivation and manufacturing). The Queen Anne’s County Arts Council proposed a “Porch Party” for October 6, 2024 (2–6 p.m.) with live music, food trucks, breweries and artisans; the Council approved extending the Lawyers Row closure until 7:00 p.m., indicated public consumption would be allowed only after the Arts Council obtains a county one‑day liquor license, and noted Main Street staff can help with Town Square; the minutes record motions passing unanimously. The provided minutes end partway through the Arts Council’s discussion of traffic management, so further details or later agenda actions are not included in this excerpt.
