EDA Brown Property Conceptual Layout <br />. Request for Proposals <br />. City of Elk River Land Use Plan <br /> <br />Background <br />In November 2004 the EDA participated in a joint work session with the City Council to <br />discuss its Business Park/Light Industrial sites and development options. The EDA and <br />Council directed staff to proceed in developing a plan for improvements and development <br />of the following areas: <br />. City-owned Cargill land - 60 net acres, Light Industrial and Highway Business <br />. EDA-owned Brown land - 45 net acres, Business Park <br /> <br />The goal is to encourage industrial development in the City of Elk River. The objective is to <br />have lots available for immediate development and to put all industrial land in Elk River on a <br />level playing field in price and financing assistance, allowing the end user/manufacturer to <br />select a site based on the site location and its amenities rather than on price. <br /> <br />At its December 2004 meeting the EDA directed staff to work with EWers & Associates in <br />developing a request-for-proposals that would be sent to interested developers for the EDA <br />Brown Property. The EDA also directed staff to draft a conceptual layout for the <br />development of the EDA Brown and City-owned Cargill properties. <br /> <br />Recent Activities <br />In January the EDA provided feedback to staff on the attached conceptual layout and a draft <br />request for proposals. <br />
