September 25, 2000 EDA Meeting <br />EDA Item 5B <br />Page 2 <br />M:\MasterFiles\1999 thru 2010\2000\EDA\EDA Packets\09-25-00\Item 05B--EDA Direction to the EDC--Aaron <br />Parrish.doc <br />If the EDA desires, the EDC could develop an Economic Development Plan similar to the one <br />adopted in 1986, but based on the principles contained within the Comprehensive Plan. Through <br />previous staff and community planning initiatives, a substantial portion of the work has already been <br />completed. At this point, it just needs to be integrated into one specific policy document. <br /> <br />Additional areas that could be incorporated into an updated plan include site-specific redevelopment <br />opportunities; business retention and expansion; marketing / image and identity; and economic <br />development / redevelopment issues associated with Highway 10. An evaluation of the Business <br />Improvement Partnership Loan Program could also be done based on Mounds View’s overall <br />economic development strategy. <br /> <br />Finally, evaluating the use of pre-1997 interest earnings and contemplating an Economic <br />Development Plan are just two areas that the EDC could direct its efforts. A myriad of other <br />possibilities exist. <br /> <br />Necessary Actions: <br /> <br />Provide Direction to the EDC <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />______________________________________ <br />Aaron Parrish, Economic Development Coordinator <br />(763) 717-4029 <br /> <br />
