The award honors <br />innovative environmental projects that have achieved extraordinary results by harnessing the power of <br />partnership. The award recognized the demolition and cleanup process, which has made Rice Creek <br />Commons possible, as well as the high level of collaboration and cooperation between the project <br />partners. <br /> <br />We continue to work closely with communications teams from the City and Alatus to coordinate media <br />requests. We jointly responded to requests from the Star Tribune, Pioneer Press, and Bulletin Press <br />regarding the updated development timeline for the site. The following articles were published: <br /> <br />• Arden Hills megaproject delayed by underground pollution – Star Tribune; May 31, 2017 <br />• Former ammunition plant site in Arden Hills will stand empty a year longer – Pioneer Press; June <br />7, 2017 <br />Over the past several months, we have also received dozens of inquiries about residential housing <br />through the website and are working with Alatus to maintain a list of people who have expressed <br />interest in purchasing property at Rice Creek Commons. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM 9 <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM
