There are several things we need to alert you to regarding this year's <br />event: <br /> <br />. . <br />. . ""--'" ... "'. ,,' <br />1 ) We are requesting that you identify cme project in your community that you . feel .would <br />attract development interest. The project you select will be featured as part of an insert in <br />our tournament invitation, which serves as a direct mail promotional piece for county <br />economic development. We will be sending this invitation to over 1,000 of Minnesota's top <br />businesses and developers. Please email JulieShortridge(julie.shortridge@co.anoka.mn.us) <br />a description of the project you would like to feature, along with photos if possible, no later <br />than June 1. Types of projects might include new major retail, new sewer/water, major <br />housing, new businesses, commercial buildings or other exciting projects, or plans that <br />might enhance business in your community. <br /> <br />2) There has been increasing pressure on our very limited supply of tournament tickets. For <br />the last two years we have been over-run with ticket requests and have filled our skybox <br />beyond capacity. Because our goal is to showcase the county to businesses for new <br />economic development, and because we will no longer be able to receive the 20 or so extra <br />tickets we used to be able to acquire each year, we will no longer be sending tournament <br />invitations to city and township staff and elected officials. While this was a difficult <br />decision, reserving our limited tickets for business guests is apriority. <br /> <br />3) We may make a specific request for you to provide one city community development <br />representative to host at the skybox on a given day, based on which businesses will be <br />attending. <br /> <br />4) If there are particular developers you are working with or would like to attract, please <br />provide us with their contact information before June 15 so that we may add them to our <br />invitation list. <br /> <br />FAJ(: 763-323-5682 <br /> <br />Affirmative Aetion I Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br />TDDITTY: 763-323-5289 <br /> <br />,,'4?~' <br />
