This area generally lies east of <br />Ramsey Boulevard and south of Bunker Lake Boulevard and the sanitary <br />landfill. During the early 1990's the AEC Energy Park and Ramsey <br />Business Park 95 opened up new land for industrial development with <br />urban services. These parks have rapidly been filling up and have <br />brought over 1,000 new jobs to the community, many of which were new <br />jobs created in the metropolitan area. <br />Ramsey has a significant supply of available land that is strategically <br />located just north of U.S. Highway 10 and along the BNSF railroad line. <br />The current zoning ordinance designates the majority of this land as <br />Business Warehouse and Industrial property.
