He stated that as the phased expansion moves <br />forward, they are looking at their business and customer base and are requiring more space for <br />their products. He stated that currently they are outsourcing about six acres of other greenhouse <br />facilities, and the proposed expansion would attempt to bring that business back into Ramsey <br />over the course of the next ten years. <br />Councilmember Shryock stated that it is exciting to see a Ramsey business continue to grow and <br />expand. She stated that she is interested in a possible negotiation of land in the future for trail <br />purposes, as the Trott Brook corridor is important. <br />Mr. Davis agreed that he hopes to continue discussions with staff. <br />City Council / September 25, 2018 <br />Page 10 of 13 <br />
