The Inland Port Authority Board on Wednesday tried to dispel continued public criticism about a perceived lack of transparency.
The board’s monthly gathering concluded without much action and seemed mostly to set up future votes that will help it establish processes, with updates on efforts to hire an executive director, discussion of rules for conduct at meetings and consideration of a proposed $2 million budget.
“I think conversation that would have happened in the subcommittees got pushed to this board meeting,” Ben Hart, who represents the Governor’s Office of Economic Development, said after the meeting.
