These rezonings would <br /> possibly occur within the initial six months of <br /> adoption of the Strategic Plan. <br /> 0 Negotiate joint development agreements with <br /> West Business Park property owners. These <br /> joint development agreements will address <br /> assessment issues, land prices, and cooperative <br /> • marketing of these Business Park properties. <br /> 0 Bring forward to the Mayor/City Council and <br /> EDA the question of whether to proceed with <br /> such joint development agreements or to possibly <br /> proceed with the city's purchase of a portion of <br /> West Business Park property. <br /> 0 Implement steps to proceed with construction of <br /> a new transportation corridor connecting County <br /> Roads 12/13 and Highway 10. This <br /> transportation corridor, as planned, is vital to <br /> the creation of additional industrial land <br /> opportunities in the eastern area. <br /> 0 Negotiate joint development agreements on <br /> property in this eastern area and bring forward <br /> to the Mayor/City Council and EDA the question <br /> of whether to proceed with such joint <br /> development agreements or possibly pursue the <br /> city's purchase of industrial properties in the <br /> eastern area. <br /> • <br />
