EDC Minutes <br />May 18, 2018 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br />MWF Developers <br /> <br />Beeman informed the Commission that he is cooperating with MWF Properties and <br />Ramsey County to ensure that the land transaction takes place so that construction can <br />begin this fall. <br /> <br />The Triton <br /> <br />Beeman informed the commission that The Triton project is on track and he and the <br />developer have met with Bio Clean and Bauer Welding to determine their future <br />expansion needs and this project continues to move along. The developer has submitted <br />a Tax Credit application and they will not know if they have received the funding until this <br />fall. <br /> <br />Norhart Homes <br /> <br />Norhart is looking to construct a 200 unit market rate luxury apartment building with <br />several amenities that would attract millennials. The developers are working through the <br />financing and have hit a roadblock with some homeowners who have increased their <br />selling price. This may delay or eliminate the project, as the price points are unrealistic. <br />The developers are looking to start in 2019 and may be forced to build in phases due to <br />the holdouts. If the developer believes this is feasible then they will be hosting tours of <br />their current product in Blaine. The EDC is invited if this is scheduled. <br /> <br />Other Upcoming Events/Reports <br /> <br />Beeman informed the Commission that City offices will be closed May 28, 2018 in <br />observance of Memorial Day. The Public Works open house will be held June 6, 2018 <br />from 3-6 p.m. October 13, 2018 will be Clean Up Day and there will not be a Spring <br />Clean Up day due to the Public Works Dept. still settling in to their new facility. The <br />Mayor and two Council Members are up for election and anyone interested in applying <br />should contact City Hall. National Pollinator Week is June 18-24. The City has a <br />beekeeping license of $50 per year. There will be a BR&E visit today with Parts Midwest. <br />August 18 is Festival in the Park, National Night Out is August 7 from 4-9 p.m. Each <br />neighborhood will be organizing their own events. Fire Dept. will be holding car seat <br />workshops and CPR training. The Emerald Ash Borer has been found in Mounds View, <br />there are regulations on cutting and removal of trees. <br /> <br />Beeman attended the Enterprise Minnesota, “State of Manufacturing” event and the <br />main takeaway is that the business owners are optimistic about the economy and they <br />are making hires, capital equipment purchases, and expansion projects. There is a <br />skilled workforce gap, yet many companies are focusing on robotics and artificial <br />intelligence. Beeman is meeting with Empire House to review the skilled workforce gap <br />issue and to set an agenda for the July Manufacturers Round Table to be held at the <br />Mermaid with local manufacturing companies. In the meantime Beeman will be working <br />with the Mounds View School District and local manufacturing companies to set up an <br />internship and apprentice program. A daycare is looking at the Snap Market building but <br />nothing is set in stone. Companies are also looking at the Snyder building as Beeman <br />has talked the broker to update their comps and to lower the price.
