Full Article Business Retention and Expansion Program The Lake Elmo Economic Development Authority (LEEDA) will be kicking off a Business Retention and Expansion Program in March. LEEDA members will be reaching out to schedule visits with members of our business community to learn more about their business, what’s going well, what could be done differently and how LEEDA can help them continue to grow and prosper in Lake Elmo. With around 300 businesses in Lake Elmo and only 6 LEEDA commissioners, this campaign will take many months and likely continue into 2023. Commissioners will be focusing on businesses in the Old Village area first and then moving towards the I-94 corridor later this year. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit contact Kristina Handt at 651.747.3905 or khandt@lakeelmo.org Water Rebate Programs In Lake Elmo It is not too early to think about how you irrigate this summer.

Washington County Sheriff's Update Nothing can ruin the Christmas spirit faster than becoming the victim of a crime. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office has had an uptick in crime in several new developments. All the crimes have been opportunity crimes, meaning it has been easy for criminals. Leaving keys or key fobs in the car, valuables and money in unlocked vehicles is too tempting for the criminals. All the vehicles that were stolen from our city had the keys left in them. No one is hot wiring vehicles or punching ignitions. The break in to vehicles are also not occurring by breaking windows. All vehicles have been left unlocked. Think of everything in your car in terms of cash value. If you would not leave the equivalent in cash out, do not leave it out in the form you bought it. This holiday season, the Sheriff’s office would like to remind all residents of the following holiday crime prevention tips: Lock your vehicle Do not leave keys/key fobs in the vehicle Do not leave valuables in plain view Park in well-lit areas Do not leave any personal identifying papers in your vehicle Do not leave a vehicle running while unattended. Shut and secure garage doors when not in use. Please contact the Washington County Sheriff’s Office if you see a suspicious vehicle or person in your neighborhood. You can call 911 or the non-emergency number, 651-439-9381. SGT. Erickson March and April 2022 at Lake Elmo Library Please visit Lake Elmo Library as new books and opportunities arrive daily!
