<br />Recent and Proposed Commercial Development
<br />
<br />The following summarizes some significant recent developments in the City:
<br />
<br />. The City is initiating a substantial expansion of its infrastructure to assist development of the
<br />East Elk River area. Water and sewer interceptors are being constructed to service
<br />approximately 700 acres of this development area. The serviced area will consist of a mix
<br />of residential, commercial and business park uses. Approximately 450 acres are currently
<br />in the development stage with the development plans under review by the City Council.
<br />Plans include a 600-lot residential subdivision, a commercial plat accommodating numerous
<br />retail services, and a business park immediately south of the commercial area. The project
<br />will include expansion of a new four-lane road and associated signal lights and storm sewer
<br />improvements.
<br />
<br />. Morrell Transfer relocated its operations within the City and constructed a 50,690 square-
<br />foot transfer facility in the East Elk River area.
<br />
<br />. A 25,000 square-foot multi-tenant building that was constructed in the East Main Street area
<br />in 1998 was expanded to 55,000 square feet in 1999.
<br />
<br />An 8,600 square-foot professional/office building was constructed on Main Street in late
<br />1998. The building houses Coldwell Banker Vision real estate offices and has rental space
<br />for other tenants.
<br />
<br />· A new 78-unit Country Inn & Suites hotel located along the Highway 169 commercial
<br />corridor was completed in May of 1999.
<br />
<br />· The Elk River Post Office is proposing to relocate and expand its facilities. The proposed
<br />28,000 square-foot building would accommodate both retail operations and a carrier annex
<br />in addition to general post office functions.
<br />
<br />Sherburne County is currently expanding its administration and jail facilities. The
<br />government center was expanded by 39,000 square feet to accommodate administrative
<br />functions. The new jail will house 106 inmates.
