• This week has been dominated by work on the closing and environmental reports for 2625 Highway 10. The item will be discussed at the work session on Monday evening and hopefully we will have some resolution and direction next week. • I had a meeting with Bart Bevins from the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development regarding requirements for the Star City Process. Mounds View has completed the majority of the work with focus 2000, annual strategic planning and the work that the marketing and economic development commission does. Therefore, it is just a matter of completing the update of Mounds View's Economic Development Plan and gathering community input and compiling the information into one application report. The EDC will be focusing on this over the next several months. • As many of you may know Bridgemans has gone out of business. There was an individual that was going to buy the business but backed out at the last minute due to issues with the lease. I have passed along this information to Carol Johnson at Addie Lane Floral who may be interested in the building for a florist shop. In addition, I received a lead from the owner of an espresso shop in Northtown who is interested in opening a shop in Mounds View. I forwarded her to Addie Lane for a potential partnership.
