These factors provide a competitive advantage to <br /> Milaca for business attraction. Related to housing, Elk River has sufficient supply and is <br /> meeting the demand for mid-level housing. For the first-time home buyer, Milaca is more <br /> affordable. <br /> Princeton is closer to both St Cloud and the Twin Cities. Milaca, nonetheless, has <br /> property available for new industry, while Princeton is three to four years away from <br /> having property to market. Housing in Princeton is closer to the Twin Cities,but Milaca <br /> can provide a better value for the commute. <br /> The other communities evaluated do not pose a threat to industrial or business growth. <br /> Milaca can compete head-to-head with Cambridge and in most instances win because of <br /> Highway 169. The smaller communities will not weigh into the decision due to their size <br /> and locations. <br /> III. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION ASSESSMENT <br /> • The Economic Development Commission has played an advisory role for planning, <br /> managing and implementing the economic development activities for the city of Milaca. <br /> Barsness Consulting Services Page 8 12/8/2005 <br />
