<br />Item #: 6B <br />Meeting Date: October 17, 2014 <br />Type of Business: EDC <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To: Economic Development Commission <br />From: James Ericson, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Review EDC’s 2014 Economic Development Priorities <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />At the EDC’s meeting on March 21, 2014, the Commission reviewed the priorities from the <br />previous year. For the most part, the adopted priorities for 2014 remained unchanged. For <br />the benefit of the Commissioners who were not present at that meeting and for the benefit of <br />our new Business Development Coordinator, I thought it would be a good idea to review the <br />priorities again so we can start thinking about priorities for 2015. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />As amended and revised at the March meeting, the following represents the EDC’s <br />priorities for 2014: <br /> <br />1. Development / redevelopment along the County Rd 10 corridor <br /> <br />a) Crossroad Pointe redevelopment site <br />b) Implement County Road 10 name change to Northtown Boulevard <br />c) Complete remaining trailway connections to businesses <br />d) Improve the aesthetics of properties located on County Road 10 <br />e) Reconstruction of County Road 10 / County Road H Intersection <br />f) Silver View Plaza <br />g) Simon’s & City-Owned Lot <br />h) Johnson Lot & Related Empty Lot <br />i) Thrifty Car Rental <br />j) Bel Rae Senior Living (Coventry) <br /> <br />2.
