Look at the Hi -tech development on <br />Stinson Bniilevard in Minneapolis, for example, which is only 30% occupied <br />after 4 years, as well as the failed efforts of a hi -tech development in <br />the St. Paul area near the U of M. Those areas are now reverting back to <br />WISHING to find industry and businesses like Mr. Johnson was proposing. <br />But, at least we and the Commissioner of Economic Development's office now <br />really know your community for what you are, and, will take appropriate <br />action in the future, Partnershipping, not criticism, delay or confrontration - <br />is the only ay business development can work. <br />Sincerely S.s, <br />cc: Commissioner of Economic Development, <br />State of Minnesota <br />8 <br />
