ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT • We did it! The City of Mounds View is the proud owner of the"Blue House". After 2625 Highway 10 was staked and it was determined that the areas of concern were not on the property, we successfully closed on December 20, 1995. The water has been turned off and the building has been locked and secured. I mailed the Requests for Information to over 35 metro area development companies and am anxiously awaiting their responses. We will discuss demolition and possible development options at the work session in February. • The Economic Development Coordinator in Blaine, Kurt Larson, called to say that Petibone Company is once again looking for new space and Blaine is one of their choices. They are looking for I35W exposure and will require outside storage. In addition, Anoka County went out for bid on 20 acres of heavy industrial land that they own in Blaine. They are considering accepting a bid from Holiday Trucking which is the same as CTC Distribution Services located in Mounds View. CTC is located on 13 acres in Mounds View on Mustang Circle. This could be a redevelopment area since most of the land is being used to park semi-trucks. Kurt will keep me posted on information received regarding both of these companies. • I got a call from Dale Jones the owner of the vacant land between Winiecki's and Silver Lake Pointe Apts. He would like to know what the Council's feeling would be on a driving range for the wet areas of his land. In my opinion this would be direct competition with the City's driving range at the Bridges. He would still like comment from the Council on this proposal. He is willing to go ahead and pursue the driving range on his own but wanted to know, up front, if the City would support the idea and be cooperative with the approval of permits. Let me know what you think. If you are interested in hearing more about this idea I would be happy to have Mr. Jones address the Council in person. Cathy
