Given <br />Ramsey's population growth trends and <br />projections, it is unlikely a single family <br />residential development would not <br />succeed. <br />SHORT TERM: LOW <br />There is a strong interest in the market <br />today to use the subject property for a <br />data center. <br />LONG TERM: UNKNOWN (FAIR) <br />Data centers, or this specific site, could <br />conceivably become obsolete someday. <br />Meaning, no market demand for a data <br />center. In which case, the City would be <br />requested to make this site compatible <br />for a different user (office, warehouse, <br />etc.). <br />
