The strategic workshop goals were: <br /> • Develop a realistic use of the Krause Anderson Property; <br /> • Strategically position the St. Anthony Shopping Center in light of the recently opened <br /> "Quarry"; <br /> • Create a financing strategy for shopping center improvements. <br /> In preparation to the strategy workshop, I interviewed a number of businesses, obtained <br /> economic data and analized that data. The results of the interviews and the economic <br /> analysis are attached to this letter. I have also"attached a list of the issues and <br /> opportunities as well as the various strategic visions developed by the workshop <br /> participants. One of the attachments discusses market enhancement strategies'which is a <br /> starting point to developing a strategic marketing plan for the shopping center.- As the <br /> result of the workshop, I have completed a very rough concept drawing which can be <br /> used to better understand the"-factor conditions" to the market enhancement strategies. <br /> Offices.
