City of Mounds View Comprehensive Plan <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />94 <br /> <br />! In order to strengthen Mounds View’s identity, <br /> <br />Χ Continue work on the development and improvement of County Highway 10, <br />Χ Maintain a high profile within the local and regional business communities, <br />Χ Attempt to develop a greater sense of community, and <br />Χ Handle business climate inquiries promptly and professionally. <br /> <br />! Given the scarcity of attractive office space and rental warehouse/office space, encourage <br />new construction to meet these needs. <br /> <br />! Due to the potentially high cost of some of the available methods of aggressively recruiting <br />the most attractive new business prospects and/or marketing Mounds View as a business <br />location, investigate and use the more cost-effective and/or more carefully targeted <br />recruitment/marketing techniques. <br /> <br />! Inasmuch as limited funds are available for the funding of business incubator programs, <br />enterprise facilitation projects or other initiatives designed to help new businesses get <br />started locally, <br /> <br />Χ Pursue grants to fund such programs, <br />Χ Establish collaborations with other governmental entities and non-profit <br />organizations, and <br />Χ Serve as a clearinghouse for information about assistance (financial and otherwise) <br />that may be available from sources other than the City. <br /> <br />! In light of the limited selection of tools that are available to the City to finance or promote <br />economic development, monitor developments affecting economic development and (where <br />appropriate) make recommendations regarding alternative, new or improved methods of <br />providing advice, assistance or encouragement. <br /> <br />! Due to the high cost of redeveloping property vs. developing property, participate in seeking <br />creative solutions to the financing challenges inherent in potential redevelopment projects. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />INTERGOVERNMENTAL
