Updating and extending this trusted <br />model to cannabis sales under strict regulation is a logical evolution. <br />Successful expansion:Successful expansion will rely on the City’s long-established public trust and the <br />application of time-tested strategies developed over the past 20 years. This effort will also emphasize <br />education and the continued enforcement of rigorous safety protocols—both essential as we grow our <br />retail operations to connect with new customers and future generations. <br />Alignment with Saint Anthony Village Municipal Retail Operations and Values <br />LOOKING FORWARD <br />Our Ask <br />•Does this concept fit Saint Anthony Village? <br />•Comfortable with the vision and project scope? <br />•Approval of initial steps: <br />•Architectural and engineering design, demolition, construction, budding documents (Oertel) <br />•Branding and signage design across municipal operations (Platt Hollow Road) <br />•Authorize solicitation for bids for interior and exterior demolition as appropriate <br />Next Steps <br />•Further approvals for each phase will be presented when ready. <br />25 <br />26 <br />57
