He stated that if they do <br />want to see industrial growth, the next step would be to construct the roads and put in utilities. <br />Chairperson Steffen asked what has changed. <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan explained in 2019 there was not a willingness from the <br />property owners to support redevelopment, whereas now there are willing sellers and developers <br />interested in the installation of sewer, water and roads. He stated that some landowners want to <br />see utilities brought to the area, which is different than what the City heard back in 2019. He stated <br />that PSD and Delta ModTech have been active in area and noted that the site to the east of Delta <br />ModTech is under contract. He stated that the amount of industrial land in the community is <br />dwindling and therefore it would help to create more industrial development opportunities. <br /> <br />Chairperson Steffen asked if the properties marked one through five were the willing sellers. <br /> <br />Economic Development Authority/ May 13, 2021 <br />Page 3 of 11 <br /> <br />
