Among these, the least risky from the City's viewpoint would be special legislation; other funding sources would require submitting applications in competitivc environments that might not favor Arden Hills. The key to successful fund-raising lies in the City's willingness to continue its practice of communicating regularly with all the participants in the planning process as well as with parties that might have a role in excessing or redeveloping TCAAP, including: the Cities of Shoreview, Mounds View and New Brighton; Ramsey County (highways, parks and public works in particular); Alliant TechSystems; the MN National Guard and US Army Reserve; AMCCOM (US Army) in Rock Island, IL; the office of Governor Arne Carlson; the US General Services Administration; the state agent for the US Economic Development Administration; the City's state legislative delegation; the City's federal legislative delegation (Congressman Vento and Senators Grams and Wellstone); others whose interest in TCAAP or potential influence may assist in the City's cause, such as The Design Center for Urban American Landscape (which showed TCAAP as a special link in its study of regional environmental constructs); other state legislators; other conununities with similar experiences; etc. Through this communication, the City will learn of and generate new opportunities for joint ventures, joint pursuit of funding at the state or federal levels, lobbying initiatives, loan and grant applications and potentially interested developers. It will also stay updated regarding activities at the federal level, particularly within AMCCOM, that will afrect the eventual timing and nature of the excessing process.
