We welcome what the new <br />vendors bring to our community along <br />with the additional parking. This is the sec- <br />ond of three phases planned for Lexington <br />Station. <br />Health Partners completed its build- <br />ing addition specializing in infant through <br />juvenile care. <br />The Land O’Lakes corporate expansion <br />was certainly one of the largest projects <br />completed this year. We look forward to <br />the many new jobs this expansion will <br />bring to our community. We are pleased <br />to have the corporate headquarters for a <br />Fortune 500 company in our city. <br />Dunn Brothers completed its grand <br />opening. They offer a roomy interior with <br />drinks and various food items. The interior <br />is designed for coffee and conversation, <br />and many students study for exams there. <br />The Red Bulls of the Minnesota Army <br />National Guard broke ground on the <br />Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS) <br />property. Their 136,000 sq. ft. facility will <br />bring 800 soldiers to our area. This project <br />has been in the works for several years. <br />We congratulate them on the start of their <br />building and welcome them as part of our <br />community. <br />Springhill Suites by Marriott broke <br />ground on a new 134-room hotel. The <br />location is on Grey Fox Road west of <br />Lexington. <br />A new trail section was completed (yes <br />finally completed) that connects County <br />Road E, starting at the bridge and going <br />west to Old Snelling, then north to County <br />Road E2. This completes an important trail <br />section for the city. It enables pedestrians <br />to have a safe walking path and creates <br />physical separa- <br />tion for drivers. The <br />project also included <br />a new water main <br />on Old Snelling <br />and replacement of <br />a problem main on <br />County Road E2. <br />Several roads were reconstructed in <br />northern Arden Hills this summer. It is im- <br />portant that the city keep up with maintain- <br />ing our roads as they age. <br />Also important was the maintenance of <br />the city’s two water towers. This year our <br />north water tower underwent substantial <br />maintenance and repainting. We also up- <br />graded the Johanna Marsh Park to include <br />playground equipment. <br />I hope you have a wonderful time with <br />friends and family this holiday season. <br />Sincerely, <br />David Grant, Mayor <br />Land O'Lakes headquarters expansion
