C <br />September 22, 2016 <br />F <br />Joel Akason <br />Director of Business Investment <br />GREATER MSP <br />400 Robert Street North <br />Suite 1600 <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 <br />Regarding: Project #556 <br />Dear Mr. Akason; <br />Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to provide information concerning the possible <br />locating of the new manufacturing facility for Project #556 in the City of Lino Lakes. This project <br />would be a strong fit for our existing business community, superior transportation access and <br />available workforce in the Lino Lakes area. <br />Based upon the information that was provided in the RFP, the City of Lino Lakes has identified <br />the following site that would allow for the construction of the proposed facility exceeding <br />861,000 square feet of building required. The complete information for the proposed site is <br />listed on the attachments including aerial photo, utilities information and possible assistance <br />programs for the currently described project. The infrastructure required for the project would <br />be constructed in conjunction with the development of the facility. This will allow for the exact <br />design of the infrastructure to be developed to the exact specifications for the project. Also <br />included in the information provided is a map showing the location of the site to Minneapolis/St. <br />Paul International airport and the community profile highlighting the proposed site for the <br />project. <br />In addition to the City assistance that is listed, it should also be noted that the Minnesota does <br />not have personal property tax, manufacturing equipment is exempt from sales tax, and there is <br />no sales tax on energy used in the manufacturing process. These financial incentives and <br />Minnesota's well-educated workforce will continue to give the company a competitive advantage <br />if it chooses the City of Lino Lakes to grow into the future. <br />Again, we are pleased you have engaged the City of Lino Lakes as a possible location for the <br />development of Project #556. Should you have any questions concerning the proposed <br />assistance package please do not hesitate to contact me at (651) 982-2427. <br />Sinc rely, <br />Mike Grochala <br />Lino Lakes Community Development Director <br />600 Town Center Parkway, Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />Phone: 651-982-2400 •Fax: 651-982-2499 <br />
