SECTION I - REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO.2 Subsection A. Forward This document constitutes Sherburne County's Redevelopment Program for Redevelopment District No.2 as required in Minnesota Statutes 469.029, subd. 1. Subsection B. Statutory Authority The statutory authority empowering the County to establish the Redevelopment District is Redevelopment District is Minnesota Statutes Chapter 469, Economic Development, Housing and Redevelopment Authorities. This Redevelopment Program has been prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of Chapter 469. Subsection C. Statement of Public Purpose The Sherburne County Board and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Sherburne County, Minnesota, determine that it is necessary, desirable, and in the public interest to designate, establish, develop, and administer a Redevelopment District in Sherburne County pursuant to the Chapter 469. The purpose of the Redevelopment District is to provide a means for the County is to attract additional commercial and industrial development and increase employment opportunities in those areas of the County designated for these uses. The Sherburne County Board and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority find that there is a demand within the County for increased commercial, industrial, and residential development and, that the Redevelopment District includes area in the County and the City of Elk River designated for business and development. However, extensive commercial, residential and industrial development in this area is not possible absent the involvement of the City for the installation of certain public facilities, including improved water and sanitary sewer service. The high cost of constructing such facilities cannot be met, and additional commercial, residential, and industrial development is therefore not possible without public intervention. Therefore, the Redevelopment District is created by the County to make public intervention and assistance possible, construction of the required public facilities possible, and to encourage development of designated commercial and industrial areas of the County. Subsection D. Boundaries of the Redevelopment District The geographic boundaries of Redevelopment District No.2 are set forth on the map attached as Exhibit A to this Redevelopment Program. These boundaries have been selected to include those areas of the County which: 1. Are zoned and planned for office/telecommunications development but require that certain public improvements be installed to make such development possible; 2. Have water and sanitary sewer service made available in the immediate area but require potential water and sanitary sewer laterals, therefore, making development possible. 3
