This project will <br />compliment and form a capstone to your efforts to revitalize downtown Elk River. You have boldly moved forward while <br />other municipalities have given less than full support to similar areas of their cities.. The design was developed such that <br />consideration and input has been made with all stakeholders in mind. We are currently upgrading the exterior of our <br />building to revert back to a more historic design. Other parcels are considering similar renovations. Your investment <br />will accelerate this redevelopment and enhance the cammunity as a whole. <br />We are all proud of our downtown area and appreciate the support this project demonstrates to the area business <br />cammunity. <br />Sincerely, <br />Steve Johnson <br />309 Jackson ST <br />ElkRiver, MN 55330 <br />612-9$7-6688 <br />From: Deckert, Annie [mailto:ADeckert@ElkRiverMN.govl <br />Sent: Monday, May 07, 2012 1:37 PM <br />To: Deckert, Annie Remote <br />Subject: Main Street Parking Plaza downtown <br />Importance: High <br />Good afternoon, <br />Tonight, the HRA will be considering moving forward with Peterson & Companies to complete Main Street <br />Parking Plaza in downtown Elk River.
