Tur cn'¥ oy RAMSE¥ WELCOMV S Listul Industries Expansion The City of Ramsey is proud to announce the construction of a new 22,105 square foot facility for Listul Industries This new facility will be located at the comer of Sunfish Lake Boulevard Northwest and McKinley Street Northwest. The new, expanded facility was made possible through the cooperation of Listul Industries, Sharp Construction, and the City of Ramsey. "This is an example of this combined effort. The City h~ dedicated considerable resources to not only finding new companies but to take care of the businesses that have been in Ramsey for years" stated City Administrator Schroeder. Listul Industries is a company that provides the structural and ornamental steel that is used in most new building construction. The new facility will allow the Company to expand its current operations and develop a better flow of materials that could not be realized at the current location. The facility's location and design will also allow for its future expansion to accommodate the projected growth of Listul Industries. "We found the City and Sharp Construction very easy to work with and their commitment to making the deal work allowed me to spend time solidifying the future growth of my company" stated Paul Listul, President of Listul Industries. "I look forward to my continued involvement and being a positive influence on the continued economic development of the City of Rarnsey." (Development Sucess Continued) These new neighbors for the City of Ramsey will also be a source of future employment for many residents of the community. With as high as 90 percent of all new jobs being created by small companies, the City has primarily targeted companies in this category. This is emphasized by the average size of new facilities constructed being 28,666 square feet. A prime example is Wendell's new 25,000 square foot facility that employs over 50 people, many of whom are residents of the City of Ramsey and neighboring communities.
