<br />BUSINESS EXPO UPDATE <br /> <br />By: Sean M. Sullivan, Economic Development Coordinator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Case # 4 <br /> <br />In 2009 the ~DA directed staff to organize a Ramsey Business Expo. The event will be held in <br />conjunction with the annual Environmental Expo and Tree sale but at different venues. The <br />Business Expo will be held April 25, 2009 at Pact Charter School. 30 businesses have signed up <br />for the event and more Registration Forms are coming in daily. The types of businesses have <br />ranged from home start-ups to Grocery Stores. Eligibility for the event was limited to Ramsey <br />businesses or Businesses owned by Ramsey residents. Attached is a list of businesses that have <br />expressed serious interest or have signed up for the event. Staff has been encouraged by the <br />participation level and will continue to market this event to Ramsey Residents and Businesses. <br />On the registration forms I put a section for businesses to suggest Business of the Year <br />nominees. Staff will compile that list after the Expo and bring it to the May meeting for <br />discussion. <br /> <br />Funding Source: EDA Levy <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />EDA Action: <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />Ramsey Business Expo Registrations <br /> <br />EDA: 4.09.09 <br /> <br />23 <br />
