<br />Since 1984, the City has extended sanitary sewer and municipal water to serve commercial and industrial property in the southeast corner of the
<br />City. A 500,000 gallon water tower will be constructed this summer at State Highway #47 and County Road #5 to serve those areas with municipal water.

<br />and existing businesses in Ramsey. Small
<br />businesses interested in locating or expanding in

<br />HIGHWAY #10
<br />STUDY COMPLETE
<br />
<br />In response to concerns regarding the quality of
<br />existing and future development along Highway #10,
<br />the Ramsey City Council authorized the completion
<br />of a study of the Highway 10 corridor. In April 1987,
<br />Barton-Aschman Associates began a study of the
<br />Highway 10 corridor from the Ramsey-Anoka boun-
<br />dary west to Armstrong Blvd. The study addresses
<br />economic development potential, land use and
<br />physical characteristics, transportation and com-
<br />munity image and identity issues within the study
<br />area.
<br />The study shows Ramsey has a consolidated land
<br />resource (1200 acres zoned Industrial) with utilities
<br />available, historically competitive land cost,
<br />reasonably high accessibility, highway-rail-airport
<br />site transportation services, good soil, level industrial
<br />sites, modest taxes, and solid residential
<br />neighborhoods.
<br />The most significant factor is the contiguous
<br />nature of an extensive land reservoir which can be
<br />planned or developed as a neighborhood. That abili-
<br />ty to put together a planned industrial neighborhood
<br />provides an opportunity to specially position the in-
<br />dustrial land as an industrial or business village.
<br />The results of this study are intended to be used
<br />by the City as planning and development guides for
<br />the study area. A copy of the report is available at
<br />City Hall.

<br />1988 "DISCOVER RAMSEY"
<br />BUSINESS EXPO
<br />
<br />Based on the success of the 1987 Business Ex-
<br />po, the Ramsey Economic Development Company
<br />is planning another event for the fall of 1988. The
<br />business expo is designed to bring Ramsey
<br />residents and businesses together to let residents
<br />in our area know what businesses we have in
<br />Ramsey, what they sell, what employment oppor-
<br />tunities there are and just how viable the business
<br />community is in Ramsey.
<br />For a great day of fun, food and prizes, plan to
<br />attend the 2nd annual Discover Ramsey Business
<br />Expo this fall. Watch the Ramsey Resident Newslet-
<br />ter for further details.

<br />THE ECONOMIC
<br />DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
<br />PRODUCES RAMSEY VIDEO

<br />The Ramsey Economic Development Commission
<br />has prepared a promotional video tape of the City
<br />of Ramsey. This can be used to represent and
<br />market the City and includes information on the com-
<br />munity such as civic organizations, parks and recrea-
<br />tion, employment, education, health care, transpor-
<br />tation, etc. The tape is available for use by realtors,
<br />schools, civic organizations, etc.
<br />Copies of the tape are available at Ramsey City
<br />Hall and the Rum River Library Branch in Rum River
<br />Plaza.

<br />a source of information and assistance in meeting
<br />the development needs of businesses considering

<br />The REDC has already been involved in a number

<br />RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED
<br />
<br />Residential growth is a sign of a city's vitality and
<br />in Ramsey that growth in 1987 was nearly 4 times
<br />what it was in 1980.
<br />The City issued 50 residential building permits in
<br />1980; 145 in 1986; and 194 in 1987.
<br />People are drawn to Ramsey by the choice and
<br />availability of wooded and/or lake and river front lots
<br />as well as 2.5 acre and larger parcels. the real plus
<br />is that these lots are lower in price compared to land
<br />in other suburban areas which offers the home buyer
<br />the opportunity to place more investment in the
<br />home than in the land.
