s <br /> • <br /> LOCVIQq OF THE FACH&M <br /> BASIC CIA <br /> Since the Hennepin County is a geographical entity on the map, with <br /> certain demographic characteristics descriptive of the two constituencies <br /> "disadvantaged" and "dislocated", an informed judgmental decision was <br /> possible regarding the target area for searching for an appropriate <br /> facility. <br /> This area is bounded on the north by HWY 694, on the south by HWY 494, on <br /> the east by HWr 100 and on the west by HWY 18. More than three dozen <br /> buildings have been inspected and rejected for one or more reasons. <br /> However, it does not appear that basic criteria.are overly stringent, and <br /> the situation has developed of having two or more buildings that <br /> represent serious fully qualified possibilities. The experience to date <br /> strongly suggests that a number of appropriate buildings exist and it is <br /> a business decision as to which one should finally be selected for the <br /> incubator/accelerator facility. <br /> There are three set of criteria that need to be met by the building and • <br /> its location. The first relates to the corporate tenants, the second, to <br /> the prospective business employees from the two designated constituencies <br /> of need, and third set profiles the characteristics of the facility. <br /> CORPORATE TENANT CRITERIA: Since the emphasis is on labor intensive <br /> products and services, the business has to identify the facility as <br /> providing easy and speedy access to its customers and clients. It has to <br /> be well situated in terms of the highway system in the county. It must <br /> provide an opportunity for easy handling of shipments in and shipments <br /> out, in specific terms such as loading docks. There must be free parking <br /> for customers and visitors. The utilities must be inexpensive and <br /> appropriate to labor intensive activities involving a variety of <br /> different kinds of equipment. There must be security for employees at <br /> all hours, as well as products and equipment. Finally, there has to be <br /> access to adjunct services, such as bookkeeping and word processing, at <br /> caapetitive market rates. <br /> Business Plan: Hero 1/15/87:RSA:05 <br />
