community. Our community, however, must have the transportation infrastructure in <br />place to support our aggressive growth plans. <br />Recently, St. Jude Medical has begun an 80,000 square foot expansion on a 30 -acre site <br />near Rice Street and County Road B. This expansion will be used for office, laboratory <br />and manufacturing space, and will eventually become headquarters for St. Jude Medical's <br />Cardiac Surgery Division, Approximately 100 employees will relocate from our <br />corporate headquarters over the course of the multi - phased expansion in order to help <br />accommodate the Company's projected growth rate and hiring plans. <br />We sincerely appreciate any attention that you or your staff can give to our concerns and <br />we strongly urge the Department of Transportation and Metro Transit to move the budge <br />replacement project higher in the schedule of road improvement funding before any extra <br />traffic is added to the problem. <br />Thank you for your consideration. Representatives from St. Jude Medical would be <br />happy to sit down with your staff to further discuss these concerns further if that would <br />be helpful. <br />Kind regards, <br />Angela Craig <br />Vice President, Corporate Relations <br />St. Jude Medical <br />Enclosure: Fact Sheet <br />CC: <br />Bev Scalze, State Representative, Little Canada <br />Ward Einess, Deputy Commissioner, Department of Employment and Economic <br />Development <br />Jim Kwan, Vice President of Operations, St. Jude Medical <br />Joel Hanson, City Administrator, Little Canada <br />Tom Sexton, CRESA Partners <br />Bob McFarland, MnDOT <br />David Gaither, Chief of Staff <br />Global Leadership in Medical Technology <br />ATRIAL FIBRILLATION CARDIAC RHYTHM MANAGEMENT CARDIAC SURGERY CARDIOLOGY <br />
