<br /> <br />Elk River EDA Strategic Plan | 19 <br /> <br /> <br />The redesign and reconstruction of Highway 169 through Elk River will <br />provide numerous economic and quality of life benefits to Elk River. It will <br />also result in significant business disruption during the period of <br />construction. <br />The City is committed to protecting its business community and advancing <br />its economic interests through attending to the aesthetic and identity <br />building character of the highway and bridge infrastructure, through <br />mitigating the impact of construction on existing businesses, and through <br />capitalizing on the new development opportunities that will emerge at the <br />new interchanges. <br />The EDA’s support for these economic objectives will primarily center on <br />the impacts of construction on existing highway oriented businesses in the <br />169 Redefine project area. <br />STRATEGIES AND ACTIONS <br />1.
