Achieving Our VI 5 IO N - B LJ 51 N !: 5 5 <br /> <br />St. Louis Park is both a residential and a business community. Business growth and <br />land development are essential for increasing job opportunities, providing easy access <br />to goods and services, and expanding the community's economic base. <br /> <br />To achieve these goals, we formulated proposals for supporting and encouraging <br />business growth and renewal, and creating a positive climate for business and <br />developers. <br /> <br />Our recommendations: · Adopt a proactive marketing plan to attract business and development <br /> · Create a strategic plan to support existing businesses <br /> · Create a strategic plan to attract new businesses and develop vacant property <br /> · Develop a more user-friendly permit process <br /> · Provide public relations training for city staff <br /> · Reactivate the Board of Appeals. <br /> <br />The result of these recommendations should foster healthy growth and development <br />for years to come. <br /> <br />Business Task Force members: <br /> Mark Anthony <br /> Kristen Berbas <br /> Douglas Black <br /> Amie Bloomquist <br /> Matthew Burton <br /> Carol Bush <br /> Bonnie Crouch, Chair <br /> Teresa Fogarty <br /> Sharon Hanson <br /> Cathy Harrington <br /> Denfly Haugesag <br /> Jennifer Hearon <br /> Sherry Martin <br /> Steve McCulloch <br /> Mark Merchlewitz <br /> John Miller <br /> Linda Ross <br /> Laurie Trach <br /> Jon Weber <br /> Judith Weeks <br /> John Woodhead <br /> <br />This is only a summary of the Business Task Force Report for Vision St. Louis Park.
