Congressional approval to convey a small acreage of the TCAAP property to the City of <br />Arden Hills for construction of the new City Hall. This project has been included in the City <br />budget for the last two years and the City has not yet begun construction. It is believed that <br />construction of the new City Hall will begin in the spring of 2000 and has been included in <br />the 2000 budget. <br /> <br />. The reconstruction of the Highway 96 and West Round Lake Road intersection to <br />accommodate the further development of the area and to prepare for the reconstruction of <br />Highway 96. <br />
