We have coordinated interviews with several community reporters who are interested <br />in a general update on the development and the Optimization Study, as well as an interview with the <br />Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal about the complexities of governments issuing RFPs for <br />developments. <br /> <br />The following articles were published: <br /> <br />• Army study stalls Rice Creek Commons construction, but other work continues – Lillie News; <br />November 28, 2017 (NOTE: We requested corrections to the article, which will be published in <br />the next print edition.) <br />• RFP: Really Faulty Process. Why cities and counties struggle to develop their properties – <br />Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal; November 30, 2017 <br />City and County staff are working together to plan a celebration of the completion of County Roads H <br />and I. More details will be shared in the near future. <br /> <br />Over the past several months, we have also received dozens of inquiries about residential housing and <br />commercial properties through the website and are working with Alatus to maintain a list of people who <br />have expressed interest in purchasing property at Rice Creek Commons. We will communicate with <br />these people once we have firmer information about the development timeline. We have also received <br />requests from community organizations which are interested in hosting presentations about Rice Creek <br />Commons. Arden Hills staff will give these presentations. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM 9 <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM
