"41. <br />. <br /> <br />Forward <br /> <br />This project was first discussed during the Minnesota Design Team visit in <br />1998. At that time the EDC investigated the potential of forming an historic <br />district in the downtown as way to improve current buildings, retain current <br />businesses and bring the area back to it's original status. <br /> <br />When the EDC initially investigated the nomination process with the State <br />Historic Preservation Office they felt it a task they would not be able to be <br />accomplish by the committee alone and the matter did not proceed forward. <br /> <br />With the progression of the Anoka County Road 14 project many members <br />of the previous council felt the historic district was worth investigating <br />again. This time we looked for further information and assistance from <br />Anoka County Historical Society. <br /> <br />Anoka County Historical Society is there to serve as a support and provide <br />education and guidance, but the actual nomination should and needs to come <br />from the community. <br /> <br />With the support of the council to further investigate the opinions of the <br />residents and business owner within the proposed district an initial mailing <br />was sent inviting them to a meeting that was held on December 11, 2002 for <br />public opinions. <br /> <br />Based on the results of that meeting a second mailing and survey card was <br />sent out requesting property owners to state if they where in favor of <br />forming a district or opposed. <br /> <br />You will find included in the report letters sent to residents, results of the <br />surveys, options, and information on assistance and support. <br /> <br />Mary Capra <br />
