UPDATE ON 2008 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />On January 10, 2008 the City Council and Planning Commission held a workshop on the <br />2008 Comprehensive Plan. Staff updated the EDA on the workshop and attached the <br />Economic Development section of the plan and the implementation plan to the EDA packet. <br />CD Director explained that some proposed industrial land was taken out in the newly <br />proposed land use plan. EDA had previously added additional industrial land to the plan at an <br />earlier meeting, but at the January 10, 2008 workshop the industrial land as changed to <br />medium density residential. The EDA agreed with the change although they still want <br />industrial land in the northern portion of Hugo. <br />UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION <br />RESEARCH PROGRAM <br />Staff met with Liz Templin, from U of M extension services, on the Business Retention and <br />Expansion Research Program they offer to communities. Staff updated the EDA on the <br />meeting and requested feedback from the EDA on the program.
