The task force will <br />be meeting monthly through September to update our comprehensive plan <br />and bring it more in line with what the City needs in order to bring <br />about' controlled and orderly growth. <br />ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT <br />In conjunction with the rise in single family homes, the City's <br />Economic Development Committee has been busy trying to attract the <br />businesses needed to supply the services demanded by these new resi- <br />dents. In addition to providing services, these new businesses <br />would increase our tax base thereby relieving homeowners of a portion <br />of their tax burden. <br />The Economic Development Committee is made up of members of the <br />community interested in the commercial growth of the City. The com- <br />mittee's responsibility is to serve as go between for developers and <br />the Council. The committee is presently working on a development <br />package that will aid contractors and developers with pertinent infor- <br />mation concerning the City. <br />The committee is working with programs from Anoka County Services and <br />other groups to make our commercial and industrial areas more desir- <br />able for potential developers. Within the last two months the committee <br />members and staff have met with an architectural firm, an engineering/ <br />marketing firm in an attempt to obtain a shopping center for Lino <br />Lakes. <br />
