ri <br />LOCAL ECONOMIC IMPACT <br />The funds involved in the Project will go toward lighting (and the replacement of the <br />current lighting poles) and toward the materials for the softball dugouts. The <br />significant majority of the Project funds will be utilized by and through Hennepin <br />County businesses for a Hennepin County workforce. It is important to ISD #282 and <br />its partners that funds be used to benefit the local community if at all possible. <br />A major expert on athletic field lighting in the nation is Musco Lighting, a company <br />with offices in Golden Valley, who has been a part of large-scale national projects such <br />as TCF Bank Stadium at the University of Minnesota, in addition to such recent local <br />projects as the DeLaSalle football field complex. The City of St. Anthony and ISD #282 <br />used Musco Lighting for its 2003 Central Park renovation and the 2009 Hennepin <br />County Youth Athletic Facilities grant, and, with its experience in working with TSD <br />#282, likely be the lighting provider for the Stadium Athletic Complex portion of the <br />Project. . <br />Any construction needs would likely be provided by Electro -Mechanical, Inc., a <br />Northeast Minneapolis company whose workforce predominantly resides in Hennepin <br />County. Electro -Mechanical has a long history with ISD #282 and also assisted with the <br />2009 Hennepin County Youth Athletic Facilities grant project. <br />Any earth -moving work, including grading of soccer fields and installation of drain tile, <br />will be performed by local Twin Cities contractors. It is important to ISD #282 to keep <br />its community working by providing any labor necessary to complete the project. <br />46 <br />62 <br />
