If your <br /> community would like this information on the website, please let me know who to list as <br /> your economic development contact. Listing this information will allow entities that are <br /> interested in a property in your community to contact you if they have questions. <br /> The contact information that I will need is name, address, phone, fax, and email. <br /> The new website will be ready to launch in mid April. The website will provide real <br /> estate, labor force, business information and other critical site location information <br /> (e.g. transportation features, foreign trade zones) on a geographic information system <br /> (GIS) platform. It will also provide a neutral medium for directing prospects to <br /> community contacts based on the site selector' s criteria. For each property, the site will <br /> generate contact information for the appropriate Realtor, city/county economic development <br /> contacts, and chambers of commerce for office, industrial and commercial site location <br /> decisions. The site will be the first in the nation to include planned development <br /> districts along with specific properties that are available. There will also be <br /> opportunities to list available public sites as well as those being marketed privately. <br /> We hope you'll find the site useful as a marketing tool and encourage your participation. <br /> If you would like more detail about this website, please call Diana Johnson, MetroMSP <br /> Website Coordinator, at 612-370-9166 with any questions or myself at 651-430-6003. <br /> Molly O'Rourke <br /> Deputy Administrator <br /> Washington County <br /> 651-430-6003 <br /> Molly.O'Rourke@co.washington.mn.us <br /> 1 <br />
