<br />Case #4 <br /> <br />CONSIDER MONUMENT SIGNAGE FOR INDUSTRIAL PARKS <br />By: Sean Sullivan, Economic Development Coordinator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The EDA has discussed monument signs and possible locations in the past. At past <br />meetings a determination was made that stated that due to the cost of these types of <br />signs, it might be more prudent to create City of Ramsey signs at the City's entry <br />points. Staffwas recently approached by Central Minnesota Development <br />Company (CMDC) in regards to constructing monument signs for its industrial <br />parks. Staff has also contacted Connexus Energy to see if they would be a willing <br />partner in assisting with the location and lighting of the potential signs. Due to <br />favorable comments from both organizations Staff believes that it could now be <br />cost effective to revisit the construction of monument signs for the industrial parks. <br /> <br />Monument signage at key entry points to the industrial parks put~ a nice finishing <br />touch on a successful economic development effort in the community. Most All of <br />the City industrial parks have access points off of Bunker Lake Blvd and a Map <br />has been attached to the case to show where these access points are. AEC Energy. <br />Park, Sunfish Lake Business Park, Gateway North Industrial Park and Business <br />Park 95 are the main industrial parks in the City. Staff is looking for direction to <br />put together a cost analysis andto identify partners in this endeavor. <br /> <br />Funding Source: <br /> <br />The Funding Sources could potentially be: Central Minnesota Development <br />Company (CMDC), Connexus Energy, and the Ramsey EDA <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Direct Staff to put together a cost analysis, identify partners, and to locate key <br />locations for monument signage for the industrial parks. <br /> <br />EDA Action: <br /> <br />Motion to Direct Staff to put together a cost analysis, identify partners, and to <br />locate key locations for monument signage for the industrial parks. <br /> <br />EDA: 10.18.07 <br /> <br />15 <br />
