ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION VISION <br />By: James D. Gromberg, Economic Development Coordinator <br /> <br />CASE #3 <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />During the comprehensive land use plan update, it was questioned as to the role each <br />Commission should fill. In the case of the EDC, it was formed at a time when the City lacked <br />any clear direction for economic development purposes. This led to the City developing a strong <br />presence in thes~ areas as indicated with the development of the Instant Equity program and the <br />recent growth in, the commercial/industrial facility development. In addition, the City has seen <br />the development of the revolving loan fund and the start of Highway 10 revitalization. <br /> <br />These changes led Chairperson Wagner to question the continued existence of the Commission <br />in its current form. He has suggested the Commission may wish to review its purpose and <br />whether it makes some sense to change direction. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discttssion, the Commission should make a recommendation as to the future of the <br />EDC for the City of Ramsey. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br />Economic Development Coordinator <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />EDC:09/04/96 <br /> <br /> <br />
