MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Tuesday endorsed the concept of providing $25,000 in town money to pay a portion of the cost of a new local events marketing coordinator who would draw out-of-towners to spend money downtown and in other local businesses that serve visitors.

The goal of coordinator would be to produce more in town revenue through increased rooms and meals tax collections than the cost of the position.

“We look forward to this being not an expenditure but an investment,” said selectboard chair John Tenny.
