Industrial land over 1 acre, that is ready for <br />development is becoming harder to find in Ramsey. Staff has received inquiries from existing Ramsey business <br />looking to expand or build new buildings (15-50,000 SF Range) in the near future. Currently, the 43 acres east of <br />Delta Mod Tech and the 14 acres south of Connexus are under contract. That leaves approximately 20 acres west of <br />Armstrong Blvd off Bunker Lake Boulevard as the only larger piece of land shovel ready for industrial <br />development. <br />Purpose <br />The purpose of this case is to seek high-level policy direction as a recommendation to the City Council to discuss <br />how aggressive the City should be to preserve the vision for cleanup and redevelopment of the industrial park <br />generally west of Aiinstrong Boulevard and north of Highway 10. <br />There are 3 major components of planning in this area. <br />1. Future Land Use Planning/Zoning/Non-Conforming Uses <br />2. Economic Development Tools to Facilitate Cleanup/Blight Removal and Redevelopment <br />3. Infrastructure and Roads/Pavement Management Program <br />Background <br />Future Land Use Planning/Zoning/Non-Conforming Uses <br />
