<br />Property Owner Informational Meeting Held <br /> <br />The City held two informational meetings on July 24 for the 600 property owners located <br />in the 400-acre Mississippi Connections Redevelopment Framework Plan area. <br /> <br /> <br />Approximately 130 people attended each of the July 24 meetings. <br /> <br />The Mississippi Connections Redevelopment Framework Plan is currently in draft form. <br />The draft plan was recently developed following several months of study by a <br />13-member City Council appointed Task Force, 10 of which are Elk River residents with <br />the remaining three owning or managing Elk River businesses. <br /> <br />The draft plan is a 20-year land use vision, which includes goals, strategies and <br />implementation priorities. The plall will not dictate that redevelopment will occur but <br />will be used as a guide or blueprint for what could occur if developers' proposals are <br />presented to the City. <br /> <br />On July 24, property owners provided feedback during question and answer sessions and <br />also submitted written comments. A summary report of this feedback will be provided to <br />the Task Force for consideration during the refinement phase of the draft plan this fall. <br /> <br />Over the next few months, the draft plan will be refined based on input received from <br />property owners, other City Boards and Commissions and the general public. The <br />general public is welcomed to attend City meetings in which the draft plan is reviewed <br />and will also be invited to a series of open houses to be held later this year. <br /> <br />More information on the Task Force, planning process, draft plan and next steps are <br />available on the City's Web site at www.ci.elk-river.mn.us. <br /> <br />QUESTIONS: Contact the Economic Development Division at 763.635.1040. <br /> <br />1 <br />
