We are a custom manufacturing company and we <br />also haVe?a ~product line that we market to customers worldwide. <br /> <br />Since we ~oqated in the industrial park we have been surrounded by <br />numerous businesses that do very little to add to the beauty of <br />this are~, ~iIt can be very embarrassing to invite potential <br />custome~Sia~ foreign representatives to visit when having to deal <br />with thls~me~s. When we put our addition on this building in 1989 <br />we were r~q~gied to supply this city with a landscaping plan that <br />would mak9 Our new addition suitable for it s surroundings and the <br />city's standards. We were required to asphalt our driveways and <br />put in cuEb~ng, there had to be trees in specific areas. The city <br />required ~s~l~o supply them with a letter of credit amounting to <br />$10,000 iR ~rder that we would comply with their standards. <br /> <br />If you ¢~me to visit us and looked accross the street at our <br />neighbor, i DSnny's "Aluminum" Processing, Inc. you might ask <br />yourself ~i~ city's standards he is required to comply with. <br />(Previousllt~i Danny's first lease arrangement this area had been <br />cleaned U~.). Some days there are four or five trucks loaded with <br />miscellaneoUS scrap parked backwards on the streets. On a busy day <br />the air i~ b~ue enough from whatever is being melted (batteries?) <br />that it ~S ~appalling to breath. We cannot leave any materials <br />outside o~r i?uilding because when it rains the corrosive chemicals <br />that pollute the air also ruin the finish on our materials. <br /> <br />What kind~ of chemicals do you suppose remain in barrels marked <br />hazardous~wa~te piled inside of other structures waiting to be <br />processed~ !What is being buried in the ground? Who cares? How <br />many land, ilia and scrapyards do we need in a three mile radius? <br /> <br />As a grow.~n~,community, Ramsey, it's citizens and leaders need to <br />look ahea~ ~nd give great consideration to actions that are taken <br />today tha~ ~etermine what their community will be known for in <br />future yearS.and especially what kinds of businesses they want to <br />attract a~dliSupport it. <br /> <br />Converting Your Ideas Into Reafity <br /> <br /> <br />
