Attached is a proposal to provide market research <br />and consulting services to assist the City of Elk River to analyze the market conditions and po- <br />tential demand for commercial and industrial development in Elk River, Minnesota. It is our un- <br />derstanding that the site for potential development, called the Gateway Business Park, is a 76- <br />acre parcel that would be near the new Northstar Commuter Rail station. The proposed study <br />would analyze potential demand for highway and other retail and industrial uses at the site. <br />The attached work program includes an assessment of the demographic and economic trends in <br />the community and region, a review of the competitive market for retail and industrial space, and <br />an estimate of the potential demand development at the site. <br />We welcome the opportunity to work with you. If this agreement meets with your approval, <br />please sign and return one copy of the agreement to us. <br />Please call me if you have any questions about the proposed work program or if you need any <br />other information. <br />Sincerely, <br />MAXFIELD RESEARCH INC. <br />Grand Martin <br />Senior Research Analyst <br />Attachment <br />615 1S1 Avenue NE #400 <br />Minneapolis, MN 55413 <br />(612) 335-0012 (612) 904-7979 FAX <br />www.maxfieldresearch.com <br />
