The review included the new White Bear Lake Area School District’s elementary school located in

and Highway 61. Other projects were the Eagles Landing development in the Bald Eagle Industrial
Park and an additional Schwieters building for their campus development on the corner of Fenway
Boulevard North and 140th Street North. Staff highlighted the city project of 2021 that included the
new public works building on the south side of Irish Avenue Park and the reconstruction of Lions Park.
Looking forward to 2022, the EDA can expect to see preliminary plat and PUD applications for the
property along Egg Lake that is known as Downtown Hugo.

opportunities that would extend city sewer and water services to non-services areas. The group also
talked about various grants that are offered at the county and state level. The EDA also emphasized
