CITY NEWSLETTER THE CITY OF RAMSEY WELCOMES JMJ BUSINESS CENTER I ~ I I Left to right: Julian Johnson, Mayor Tom Gamec, City Administrator Ryan Schroeder, and Bob Perovich The City of Ramsey is proud to announce the construction of a new 48,000 square foot JMJ Business Center facility along the southside of McKinley Street Northwest in the Ramsey Business Park. This large scale multi-tennant facility allows Ramsey to offer a full range of opportunities to relocating and expanding businesses. It will provide bays ranging from 12,000 square feet to the entire building area. "After our very positive experience with the construction of the Heritage Millwork facility, we reviewed market trends in the City of Ramsey and determined that a facility with larger rental bays would be an ideal fit for the local business environment. This proved to be correct with the lease of over 12,000 square feet before the building is completed," stated Julian Jolmson the owner of the new facility. The larger bays will complement the existing Ramsey Business Park operated by Sharp and Associates that provides for bays up to 3,000 square feet. Since the facility has not yet been completed, the opportunity exists for the space to be redesigned to meet a company's exact needs at a potentially lower construction cost than a future renovation of the facility. If you or your business is interested in the possible rental of space in the new lMJ Business Center, please contact Bob Perovich at 323-7501.
