<br />Recommendations to serve the City Center Neighborhoods: <br /> <br />1. Be flexible. Provide a range of services for the young as well as aged. <br /> <br />Provide physical and social activities as well as a full service one stop <br /> <br />government center. Market to the broader, northern Ramsey County <br /> <br />community of cities as well as the residents within the City. Serve the <br /> <br />immediate market of residents, but also have a strategic long term plan to <br /> <br />serve a more diverse set of households and population as change does <br /> <br />occur. The City Center should be thought of as an amenity to attract and <br /> <br />retain that diversity. <br /> <br />2. Recognize active seniors and empty nester professionals will be the largest <br /> <br />(and growing) sector of the City Center neighborhood for the next ten <br /> <br />years. Decide whether the center or some alternate location should provide <br /> <br />senior programs and activities. The Center could offer all age <br /> <br />physical/athletic therapy and satellite medical clinic monitoring. <br />Connections via pedestrian/walking paths (as well as via <br /> <br />telecommunications) will be important to allow such residents to continue <br /> <br />to participate in social and recreation activities. Determine whether and to <br /> <br />what degree the Center will purposefully be used to attract (or recruit) <br /> <br />more seniors to live within the community. <br /> <br />3 <br />
