The study is being funded by Ramsey County through a Critical Corridors Pre-Development Planning grant. The study included a market study conducted by LOCi and redevelopment concepts designed by HKGI. HKGI met with the City Council October 2, 2023 to review the initial market study findings and concepts. HKGI launched a survey through the City's Facebook and website and compiled that information together with the City Council's input and on November 15, 2023 HKIGI held a community engagement event at the Mounds View City Hall to seek additional public input on the project. That meeting was recorded and played back on the local T.V. access channel and also posted to the City's Website. The study explored redevelopment concepts and phasing options to ensure redevelopment works in harmony with existing businesses and adjacent neighborhoods. According to Ramsey County's Critical Corridors Pre-Development Planning grant requirements and deadline, the final recommendations and findings from the study must be adopted by the City Council by December 31, 2023 in order to stay in compliance with the grant agreement. Discussion: HKGi will be present to provide its final findings as per the grant requirements and answer any questions. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Create and maintain a positive business climate where businesses want to locate and remain in Mounds View.
