<br />SUMMARY OF RESEARCH AND RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES <br />EDA STRATEGIC PLAN 27 <br />Strategies/Actions <br />3a. Develop business park site maps for future and existing industrial parks to include <br />in materials for site selectors, interested businesses and developers. <br />3b. As new industrial land comes online, engage in master planning and related <br />activities that increase the readiness of the land for development, and include the <br />availability of large industrial lots. <br />3c. Make a creative push for engaging with Cargill about their plans for their Elk River <br />property. The conversation can encompass learning about Cargill’s plans and <br />intentions, the potential of making their land available for industrial development, <br />and their interest in collaborating with Elk River on fostering synergistic food- <br />related enterprises in the area or in Elk River more broadly. Stantec has made <br />contact with Government Affairs staff at Cargill, and they have expressed interest <br />in meeting with the City to discuss respective interests and future opportunities for <br />collaboration. <br />3d. As the visions for early phases of the Gravel Mining area are updated, consider <br />guiding some of that land for industrial park development. <br />
