Opportunities and constraints affecting the development and <br /> redevelopment of properties within Section 9 were advanced and refined based upon <br /> input from Economic Development Commissioners, City staff, Ramsey County officials <br /> and City Council members. <br /> Most importantly, individual property owners and those with property interests within <br /> Section 9 have had opportunities to benefit from the information gathered during the <br /> process and to voice their support or concerns on aspects of the preliminary planning <br /> scenarios.
