The objective is to <br /> have lots available for immediate development and to put all industrial land in Elk River on a <br /> level playing field in price and financing assistance, allowing the end user/manufacturer to <br /> select a site based on the site location and its amenities rather than on price. <br /> At its December 2004 meeting the EDA directed staff to work with Ehlers &Associates in <br /> developing a request-for-proposals that would be sent to interested developers for the EDA <br /> Brown Property. The EDA also directed staff to draft a conceptual layout for the <br /> development of the EDA Brown and City-owned Cargill properties. <br /> Recent Activities <br /> In January the EDA provided feedback to staff on the attached conceptual layout and a draft <br /> request for proposals. <br /> • <br />
