EDC Minutes <br />March 17, 2010 <br />Page 5 of 6 <br />A. TCAAP Other Projects (continued) <br />Community Development Director Lehnhoff reported the Council had a concept review with <br />Roberts Development at the last worksession meeting. Roberts Development has proposed <br />renovating an existing building at 3920 Northwoods Drive into a 51 -unit senior apartment <br />building. The overall response from the Council was encouraging. Additional comments will be <br />taken from the EDC at the April meeting. <br />Community Development Director Lehnhoff encouraged the EDC members to further review the <br />zoning regulations and forward any comments or questions to him prior to the meeting. This <br />would allow staff to bring all necessary information to the April worksession meeting. <br />B. Commission Members <br />There was nothing further. <br />C. Council Liaison <br />Council Liaison Harpstead reported economic development for the region was critical. He <br />presented information on the initiatives of the Regional Council of Mayor's. This organization <br />involved 35 metropolitan cities and works with the Department of Economic Development to <br />gather information on the regions workforce and business types. <br />Council Liaison Harpstead indicated the Itasca Project involves 30 -50 community leaders that <br />look into the local jobs and economic development diving deep into data. He further reviewed <br />the levers that make areas successful and how the City of Arden Hills rated in each area. The <br />Itasca Project would continue to work on how to draw businesses into the area while addressing <br />the necessary process changes to create vision and long term growth. In the end the region <br />would like to increase jobs. <br />Council Liaison Harpstead noted the Brookings Institution decided to look nationally at how to <br />create relationships between the Federal Government and metropolitan regions. This has <br />become a world of cities and not a world of nations. <br />Council Liaison Harpstead indicated he would be willing to present the local business owners <br />with this information if the EDC found interest. <br />Mr. Davidson explained the recession has magnified the need for public and private sectors to <br />work together to foster development and employment. <br />OTHER BUSINESS <br />There was nothing at this time. <br />
