The goal of the study is to develop <br /> a coordinated vision and prepare schematic plans for the future development of <br /> undeveloped and underdeveloped areas of Highway 10. The idea is to maximize the tax <br /> base of the City and provide the framework for an aesthetically-pleasing physical <br /> environment, while protecting and enhancing the natural environment and surrounding <br /> land uses in the area. An open house regarding the plan is slated for April 2002. <br /> Top Ten List for Mounds View Businesses <br /> Do you enjoy a good Top Ten list (a la Letterman)?
