r <br /> EDA Marketing Strategy <br /> Work Plan <br /> City Website <br /> Activity: Commercial/ Industrial vacant land search <br /> Staff continues to hear from commercial property owners about their land being <br /> for sale and has contact information for other commercial/industrial properties in <br /> the City that have vacant space in their building. The idea for this activity to <br /> showcase the available properties on the City website and on the MNPRO <br /> website. Staff has created a spreadsheet of these commercial / industrial properties <br /> and will be putting them on the website and will update the available properties as <br /> they become available. This will include picture of the properties available, of <br /> what is coming to the community, and the current development. When complete, <br /> this will be a valuable resource to help attract new businesses that are looking for <br /> space in the area. <br /> Timeline: Fall 2007 and on going <br /> Activity: The EDA's own section of the City website for promotion of the EDA <br /> The development of the new City website is under way and as a part of the <br /> creation of the website staff will provide a section dedicated to the EDA. This <br /> section should include a mission statement, the goals for the EDA, events, and the <br /> commercial/ industrial vacant land search. This is a way to keep the residents and <br /> developers up to date on what the EDA is working on. The staff and EDA will <br /> continue to work with the HBA on the promotion of businesses as a part of the <br /> EDA's marketing strategy and can have a link to the HBA's website on the <br /> EDA's section of the City's website as a starting point. <br /> Timeline: Fall 2007 and on going <br /> Activity: Funding for the City website <br /> The EDA has suggested working with the surrounding schools with classes that <br /> teach website development to help with the EDA's portion of the City website. As <br /> of now the EDA and staff do not have a funding source for the website. The EDA <br /> and staff should continue researching to find out if there is a way to get funding <br /> for the City website. <br /> Timeline: On going <br />
