US HIGHWAY 10 BUSINESS RELOCATION POTENTIAL <br />By: Sean Sullivan, Economic Development / TIF Specialist <br />Megan Wald, Associate Planner <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The City Council recently introduced an ordinance to officially map the portion of Highway 10 that will be <br />utilized for future highway 10 improvements. The adoption of the official map will allow the City the ability to <br />request Right of Way Acquisition Loan Funds (RALF) from the Metropolitan Council to purchase properties <br />fi'om willing sellers when opportunities arise. <br /> <br />At the January EDA meeting the authority stated interest in reviewing the types of existing businesses located <br />within the subject corridor and determine if they have potential to establish themselves within Ramsey at a <br />different location. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Highway 10 in Ramsey has a wide variety of businesses located in the area between the train tracks and the <br />highway. Attached is a comprehensive list of businesses within the corridor; staff reviewed the list and <br />attempted to identify businesses that the City may be interested in establishing somewhere in Ramsey. <br /> <br />Staff would like to initiate a discussion with the EDA regarding the business list, identified businesses, and <br />defining the scope of this project. It would appear that the EDA would ultimately need to provide a <br />recommendation to the City Council; however what the recommendation consists of will depend on the scope of <br />the project. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Based on discussion <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br />City Administrator, Jim Norman <br /> <br />EDA: 04.19.04 <br /> <br />P.
