Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as accessary)
SUMMARY:
At the work session on February Sth Charlie Hall, owner of the Mermaid, gave a presentation -
regarding the findings of the hotel market analysis and,economic feasibility study regarding the
highest and best use of the corner of Highway 10 and County Road H.for'a hotel/conference
center. The study includes in-depth information regarding the hotel demand and market trends in
Mounds View and the surrounding areas ofArden Hills, Blaine,'Columbia Heights, Coon Rapids,
Fridley, Lino Lakes, New Brighton, Roseville,Shoreview, SLP, St. Anthony and Vadnais Heights.
In addition, the study identifies primary and secondary competitors and estimates the costs and
design of the proposed facility. •
•
For a project of this size to be a reality it is imperative to have community support. Mr. Hall has
asked,that the EDA support the concept and allow staff to assist in his effortsto attract
developers/investor,for the project. Clearly, a hotel/conference facility of this magnitude would
be a;fantastic enhancement to the community as it would provide jobs and increase the tax base for
the City. ,Not only will the center attract visitors from aroundthe nation, but with the demand.
generated from the National Sports Center Mounds View could be a destination for international
guests. In addition, there would be a positive economic Impact for several existing businesses in
Mounds View such as-restaurants, service stations, mini market and other convenience item stores.
I have prepared a resolution of support for your consideration. >I will work closely with Mr. Hall to
• proactively Identify quality developer/investors for the project and keep he council and
community informed as the project begins to unfold.
