Economic Development Manager Sullivan presented the staff report. He welcomed input related <br />to the updated marketing materials. <br /> <br />Chairperson Steffen asked how and when the materials would be used. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan stated that the material would be shared through <br />different methods, depending on the audience and situation. He noted that the presentation <br />materials could be tailored to a specific prospect. The information could be in print, electronic, <br />online or on a laptop. He emphasized the flexibility and the ability to update as needed. <br /> <br />Member Kuzma stated that it seems that some of the information in the marketing materials was <br />developed for a previous proposal to Amazon. He indicated that the City Amazon proposal was <br />well done. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan stated that he was not a part of that Amazon proposal <br />submittal. <br /> <br />Member Kanaventi stated that this material is very clear and possesses the necessary information <br />for an audience reading it. <br /> <br />Member Hardin suggested updating some of the photos used specifically referencing the cover <br />photo in the background. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan noted that is exactly the type of input he is looking <br />for. He welcomed all members of the EDA sending additional input via email. He stated that <br />the audience for the marketing material would be to bring in retail, industrial, and housing <br />developers. He continued to review the revisions for the map, noting that the wall map would <br />replace the dated map in The COR room at City Hall. <br /> <br />Member Riley stated that perhaps certain areas should be highlighted and identified as proposed <br />industrial or proposed residential, identifying users or development sizes. <br /> <br />Chairperson Steffen referenced areas on the south side of Highway 10 and suggested that those <br />areas be identified and highlighted as well. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan zoomed into the map and noted that the traffic counts <br />would be updated as information becomes available. <br /> <br />Member Burandt asked if showing the potential bridge crossing to Dayton would be beneficial <br />for marketing. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan stated that it was a good idea and that he would look <br />into that. He wanted to be sure that City Council is comfortable showing that alignment as there <br />is still discussion with the property owners. <br /> <br />Member Kanaventi suggested highlighting and labeling the Connexus solar array as well. <br />Economic Development Authority/ April 11, 2019 <br />Page 11 of 12 <br /> <br />
