Economic Development Advisory Committee <br />May 6, 2021 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br /> <br />Mr. Vojtech commented that the City had developed a brochure that painted a very <br />detailed picture of what Lino Lakes has to offer. <br /> <br />Mr. Cravero suggested that this brochure be available electronically as well. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala stated that some of this information can be found on the Cities webpage <br />but suggested that we update some of our marketing material. <br /> <br />Mr. Kohler stated that the City should specify what types of businesses we want to <br />attract. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg agreed. He suggested that at an upcoming meeting the board should <br />discuss and identify which types of businesses the City wants to attract and why we <br />want to attract them. <br /> <br />Mr. Cravero stated that it is a type of business not a specific business. He clarified by <br />saying we don’t want businesses that are directly competing with one another. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala commented the Minnesota Technology Corridor webpage lists out <br />targeted and diverse industries that the City is trying to attract. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg asked the board what kind of role the board can play in the planning of <br />future use/disposition of City owned properties. <br /> <br />Mr. Kohler commented that he would like to identify some properties that the City <br />should acquire for the long-term plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala supported this idea. He commented that he has identified a few properties <br />that are potential redevelopment opportunities. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg suggested that the board identify some of these sites at a future meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Cravero commented that he liked the idea of creating a list of sites for <br />redevelopment so when they come on the market they can identify which ones were of <br />strategic importance. <br /> <br />B. Lake Drive Land Sale <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala, Community Development Director, gave an update on the 77th Street <br />property acquisition. The City is still working through a purchase agreement with the <br />principal buyer. <br /> <br />C. Project Updates <br />
