Because the EDC <br />meetings are broadcast locally, this is a great way to get the message out to residents and <br />local businesses on the upcoming projects. <br /> <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />Maintain good infrastructure. Create and maintain a positive business climate where <br />businesses want to locate and remain in Mounds View. Maximize utilization of development <br />space and current redevelopment sites.
