Fourteen Superfund Sites are located within the TCMP area. <br /> <br />Congressman Vento appoints the TCMP Reutilization Committee in the summer of <br />1994. This group is charged with developing a community based reuse plan for the <br />site. Representatives from the cities of Arden Hills, Mounds View, Shoreview, and <br />New Brighton, as well as Ramsey County, organized labor, environmental groups, <br />and the State of Minnesota participated in the process. <br /> <br />By Spring of 1995, the Reutilization Committee had gathered a large amount of <br />information, but still only had generalized conception of how the site might best be <br />utilized. Two proposals were explicitly rejected, <br /> <br />In Spring of 1995, the Prairie Island Band of Mdewakanton Sioux expressed an <br />interest in acquiring the site for Native American housing and a gaming facility. <br /> <br />Given the level of interest in the property, the City of Arden Hills convened a TCMP <br />Reuse Task Force. A consulting team including Camiros (a planning consulant); <br />Short Elliot and Hendrickson; and Larkin, Hoffman, Daly, and Lindgren were <br />retained to facilitate the work of the Task Force and to prepare a TCMP <br />Reutilization Plan. <br /> <br />After several meetings, the Arden Hills TCMP Reuse Task Force presented four <br />concepts to the Vento Reutilization Committee. <br /> <br />In an effort to build support for a single reuse plan, in Fall of 1995, the Vento <br />Reutilization Committee essentially endorsed the Arden Hills plan with a few <br />modifications. The land use element of this plan is highlighted in Map B. <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />TCAAP Briefing <br />
