To address this change in the norm the City of Ramsey has begun marketing its <br />newest industrial park. Sunfish Business Park, which is located just south of the Sanitary <br />Landfill, will be ready for development soon and the city is trying to obtain commitments from <br />prospective businesses. To this date the City -is negotiating with two businesses and would like <br />to the rest of the park to be developed. Our major marketing focus will be running ads in the <br />Real Estate Journal and creating a brochure that will be placed in the Business Journal. The ad <br />for the Real Estate journal will run in the late July edition and the brochure should be ready for <br />publication in the Business Journal by late August. The brochure may also be sent out as a direct <br />mailing.piece, to be sure we reach our desired audience. <br /> <br />EDA: 7.22.02 <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br /> <br />
