Staff Memo To: Economic Development Commission Members From: Cathy Bennett, Economic Development Coordinator Date: October 20, 1994 Agenda Item: Consideration of Highway 10 Redevelopment Vision and 5a. & 5b. Action Steps. This item was tabled in September due to the absence of several commission members. Since the redevelopment of highway 10 was a high priority in the Focus 2000 report, the Commission felt it is critical to have the vision statement and action steps developed by all of the members. As noted in last months staff report, the goal in the Focus 2000 report was as follows: Create a plan to redevelop Highway 10 into a community oriented boulevard. The vision statement will be used as a guideline for the Commission when preparing the redevelopment plan for highway 10. A vision statement is futuristic in nature. In other words, in the perfect world, what does the community want Highway 10 to develop into? What will its purpose be to the community? A vision statement is not always met but rather it is something to aspire to. Keep in mind that in a community with varying interest not everyone is going to be completely satisfied with the development of the plan. To develop the vision statement the goal and action steps that were developed by Focus 2000 need to be reviewed. In your last packet I included the Focus 2000 Implementation Plan for your review. Highway 10 is addressed on page 16 under Goal #7. In addition, I have included sections that address Highway 10 from the 1979 Mounds View Comprehensive Plan. We will collectively develop a vision statement at the Commission meeting. The draft vision statement will be presented to the EDA at the next work session and, after • consensus, accepted at the regular EDA meeting November 14, 1994.
