ei Staff Memo <br /> To: Economic Development Commission Members <br /> From: Cathy Bennett, Economic Development Coordinator <br /> Date: February 17, 1995 <br /> Agenda Item: Consideration of Action Regarding the Realignment <br /> (5.D.) of Old Highway 8 <br /> During the Retention interviews, several of the businesses located in the Mounds View <br /> Industrial Park off of Old Highway 8 complained about the condition of the road and <br /> especially about the safety hazard of Highway 10, H and 8 intersection. This is such <br /> an issue with several of these businesses that they avoid going into Mounds View and <br /> use the services in New Brighton instead. This is clearly an economic deterrent for <br /> • Mounds View. <br /> The City has been working with Ramsey County for several years to have the road <br /> realigned and currently it is on their schedule for 1996. In an effort to put some <br /> pressure on the County with regards to the importance of the project, it may be <br /> beneficial to encourage the businesses to write to the County Commissioner showing <br /> their support. In addition, this would also show the businesses that the City is <br /> anxious to see the work done as a response to their concern thought the retention <br /> survey process. The County Commissioner for Mounds View is Dick Wedell, Ramsey <br /> County Courthouse, Suite 316, St. Paul, MN 55102. <br /> I will bring a resolution of support that can be sent to the County to the meeting for <br /> your consideration. <br /> III <br />
