SPECIAL BUSINESS <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Carroll provided the EDC with an update <br />regarding DTED’s decision to award Mounds View a grant in the amount of $333,333 <br />to assist with stormwater handling improvements in connection with the proposed <br />Mermaid redevelopment project. Carroll indicated that the project will not move <br />forward unless or until the developers are able to obtain ownership of certain <br />adjoining parcels of property. If they are unable to acquire the parcel on which the <br />new [proposed] sedimentation pond was going to be located, alternative locations <br />for the pond will have to be investigated. In addition, the City must match the <br />amount of the DTED grant, so if the City declines to provide the project with at least <br />$333,333 in tax increment [or other] financing, the City may be forced to decline <br />acceptance of the grant. <br />
