Al and Dave Pearson and I met with Kurt Ulrich <br />and Heidi Nelson on June 18, 2009~ concerning this potential possibility. <br /> <br />We believe that the south parcel (south of Hwy 10 containing 126 acres less the <br />farmstead, more or less) would be a great place for the City of Ramsey to develop an <br />industrial park or light industrial park with heavy commercial building and storage <br />opportunitIes. In addition, there are opportunities for parks and residential areas in the <br />southern wooded area which would greatly enhance the community's opportunities for a <br />residential park. <br /> <br />We further believe that the City should control this rather large space. so that the <br />City can best deal-with the solicitation and encouragement of companies III light industry <br />'aIi<;lc'ommercialactivities to relocate in the City of Ramsey enhancing the potential real <br />estate~taxbas~and creating jobs for the community. Since the retail center development <br />app~ars north of the railroad tracks, it woul~ seem appr?I?riate that. this untouched a!ea is <br />npe for development and would be best sUIted to provldmg the CIty of Ramsey WIth an <br />industrial park or business park. <br /> <br />11 <br />
