<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Economic Development Commission January 4, 2017 <br /> <br />Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: January 4, 2017 EDC Agenda Item 4.B <br /> <br />TO: Economic Development Commission Chair and Commissioners <br /> <br />FROM: Matthew Bachler, Senior Planner <br /> <br />SUBJECT: 2017 Newsletter Topics <br /> <br /> <br />Requested Action <br />Suggest topics for the Arden Hills newsletter. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />For several years, EDC Commissioners contributed business-focused articles for the Arden Hills <br />Notes newsletter. After discussions with the staff liaison to the Communications Committee, it <br />was suggested that the EDC contribute business-related topics, and the Communications <br />Committee will write articles when space is available. <br /> <br />The exception may be articles featuring new businesses in Arden Hills, particularly those that are <br />not focused on local consumers. Communications Committee members are often unaware of <br />these new businesses. When EDC Commissioners visit new businesses, it would be helpful if <br />content and photos could be provided to staff to share with the Communications Committee. <br /> <br />Potential article topics for 2017 include: <br />• Business Retention and Expansion visits in the Red Fox/Grey Fox District <br />• Land O’Lakes campus expansion project <br />• Public infrastructure improvements for the TCAAP redevelopment <br />• 2017 State of the City (summary report) <br />• Highlight new businesses, particularly those with high-quality jobs that sell goods and <br />services outside of Arden Hills. It would be helpful if the EDC could submit content and <br />photos following new business interviews. <br /> <br />Commissioners are requested to comment on the potential 2017 newsletter topics.
