Second Priority <br />Key Outcomes/Metrics <br />Additional Resources & Tools Required <br />Timeline <br />Tactics <br />RALF <br />The Metropolitan Council reinstated the RALF (revolving <br />acquisition loan fund) program in 2015 with eligibility <br />modifications which significantly affect the City of <br />Ramsey's ability to use this program. Staff would like <br />the EDA/ City Council to consider pursing amendments/ <br />exceptions to the RALF program criteria. Staff is <br />receiving requests/ inquiries from Highway 10 property <br />owners RE this subject; which are intensifying with time. <br />Staff would also like to put together an informational <br />document (FAQ) for Ramsey businesses affected by <br />proposed improvements to U.S. Highway 10. <br />Business Incubator <br />Consider utilizing the vacant space on the second floor <br />of the Ramsey Municipal Center for a business incubator <br />program—(or a cowork space, COCO). <br />COR Story <br />Consider creating a professional and comprehensive <br />document outlining the history, current conditions, and <br />outlook of The COR. The purpose of this document <br />would be to highlight the success of The COR to <br />taxpayers and outsiders. Staff commonly receives <br />inquiries from various parties related to the history and <br />outlook of The COR. This is an opportunity for the City <br />to control our message and story. <br />ZIP Code <br />In 2015, the City of Ramsey did open its doors to the first <br />ever Ramsey substation USPS Post Office. Although this <br />is a positive step for Ramsey, the need for an <br />independent zip code still exists. The purpose of this <br />tactic is to consider pursing an independent zip code for <br />our community. <br />
