The final develoment agreement has not been put forth yet. MetroPlains plan would be to start on the Bluff Block first and then to start on Jackson Square. There was some thought to doing them at the same time. However, a problem could arise regarding suitable room for staging areas for construction were both sites to run simultaneously. The Redevelopment site would have to be approved as a TIF District prior to the development agreement being finalized Garage Sale: The Elk River City Council approved our use of the vacated Utilities Building to hold a garage sale on May 22. Meryl Gisselquist volunteered to chair this event. Invitations to donate items and help staff the sale will be sent out to all downtown businesses.
