BUILDING, COMMUNITY, AND SITE INFORMATION The building and property showcased in the attachment are located in the City of Ramsey along the HWY 10/169 Corridor. It is owned by PSD, LLC. The building cost is estimated at $55 -60/ sq. ft. A Google Map view shows the property, accessible today, just south of a large master - planned development known as The COR. As you can see by browsing, workers of this business will have direct access to HWY 10/169 as well as the Northstar Commuter Rail via Ramsey's new rail station— transporting folks from Minneapolis to Big Lake. Employees will find value in their transit options, over 1900 acres of parks to enjoy in their time off, a beautiful variety of housing options (transit oriented living, acreages, suburban lots, and more), and a stable and citizen focused local government. The City of Ramsey's growth is showcased by a 27% gain in population over the past decade. Business is thriving, as indicated by numerous expansions by Cullinan Rigging, Molin Concrete, Diamond Graphics, B &F Fastener, and others. We're not just saying it— the community shows itself as a great place for your business. The building and site were recently drawn up to accommodate a large user. The building is sized at 150,000 square feet with an addition of 30,000 square feet of office. This is adaptable to the requests of your business; number of loading docks, lab space, etc. The property the building is to be located on is 24.67 acres in size. This project was recently reviewed and does require a zoning change. The property to the east (with the baseball diamonds) is vacant, there is not building /user on the site. It is available for expansion, as is the remainder of the main site. INCENTIVES We will work collaboratively to employ development tools to create a development of mutual gain for all parties.
