<br />Recent Development
<br />Economic Development
<br />The economic development effort established in 1993 by the City Council has begun to have an impact in
<br />the diversity of the City's tax base. Since 2001, three industrial parks have been established, and the
<br />Apollo Business Park on I -35W has been occupied. Marshan Industrial Park on Lake Drive and
<br />Clearwater Creek Development Center on Interstate 35E have also brought new industrial users to the
<br />City. Lino Lakes Marketplace, located at Lake Drive and Apollo Drive in the Town Center area, has
<br />continued to develop. The commercial retail center includes Target; Kohl's Department Store;
<br />Dairy Queen Grill 'n Chill; Discount Tire; a branch of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association; and
<br />SMW Credit Union. Three retail buildings of approximately 6,000 square feet each have been added to
<br />the area.
<br />The City initiated an Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) in 2005 of more than 4,000 acres in
<br />the northeast quadrant of the City, including the property in the I -35E corridor, to assess the impact of
<br />future development scenarios in this area. The AUAR provides clear direction for future development
<br />regarding environmental and transportation improvements that will be needed, relieving development
<br />interests of project -by -project environmental assessments. The City and Anoka County, with financial
<br />assistance from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, reconstructed the I-35E/County Road 14
<br />interchange in 2010-2011. Recent project approvals include an 8,000 square -foot convenience store, a
<br />13,000 square -foot liquor store, and a new McDonald's restaurant located along the I -35E corridor.
<br />The City entered into an agreement with a master developer in 2004 to complete development of 40 acres
<br />in the southeast quadrant of I-35W/Lake Drive known as "Legacy at Woods Edge". The mixed-use
<br />development is intended to include diverse opportunities for housing, retail and office uses. To -date, the
<br />development includes the Lino Lakes Civic Complex, which houses the City hall and police station; the
<br />Chain of Lakes YMCA; a 60 -unit workforce housing project; 13,000 square feet of leasable commercial
<br />space; and a facility initially developed as a hotel and later converted into an assisted living facility. The
<br />deep economic recession has stalled housing and commercial plans in the development and forced the
<br />remaining 22 acres into tax forfeiture.
