Members of the EDC, City Council and City staff <br />joined local business representatives for a morning of coffee, conversation and community connections. <br />Attendees had the opportunity to network with fellow business owners and hear updates from the Ramsey County <br />Sheriff’s Office, EDC Council Liaison Emily Rousseau and others. The program <br />highlighted topics like safety and crime prevention, and the City’s review of the <br />zoning code as it relates to local businesses. <br />The event featured a drawing for several fun prizes. It was a great turnout and an <br />excellent opportunity for business leaders to share ideas, exchange insights and <br />strengthen community connections. <br />“We really appreciate everyone who took the time to attend and contribute to <br />the discussion,” said EDC Chair Jud Murchie. “Hearing directly from our business <br />owners helps guide the City’s and the <br />Economic Development Commission’s <br />efforts to make Arden Hills a great place to live and work.” <br />A special “thank you” to our event sponsors — Dunn Brothers Coffee, <br />Brausen Auto and Flaherty’s Arden Bowl — for helping make this event a <br />success! <br />The EDC looks forward to hosting similar events in the future, providing even <br />more opportunities for businesses to connect, collaborate and contribute to <br />the continued growth and success of Arden Hills. <br />L to R: Council Liaison Rousseau, <br />EDC Chair Jud Murchie and EDC Commissioner Kyle Sorenson
