a) In 1996, the City was awarded $591,604 from the Tax Base Revitalization Fund of the Metropolitan Council for soil clean up in industrial areas (Midwest Motor Site and John Allen-Ideal Security Site). Both projects came under budget and the City received $419,389.15 for the Midwest Motor and Ideal Security sites for eligible expenses. Ryan Construction built a 105,000 SF office/showroom building on the site of Midwest Motor and Fairview H.A. Associates built 42,000 SF office/showroom building on the site ofIdeal Security. It is estimated that these sites combined will provide $238,000 in property tax dollars and 300 jobs to the community. b) Also in 1996, the City Council approved submission of a grant application to assist with the city's Cornerstone Program under the Livable Communities Demonstration Account. Roseville was awarded a $270,000 grant in November of 1996. To date approximately $80,000 has been spent for a design event, CD- ROM video, appraisals and environmental studies and loans and grants.

This completes the build out of Gateway with the exception of expansion space for India Handicraft and PrimeSource. It is estimated that these sites will add 275 jobs to the area. 2.6 Most ofthe programs the City Council adopted in relation to the Livable Communities Program (LCA) in Roseville were originally approved as part ofthe Vista 2000 (1992-3) and the Comprehensive Plan (1994). The focus has always been to use the approved housing section of the Comprehensive Plan as a basis for the LCA program. The city's direction has been to collaborate with other agencies, institutions, the private sector (especially the local banks and development/contractor sectors) and the neighborhoods as our program partners to implement the programs. 3.0 Roseville Housing Improvement Programs (RHIP) 3.1 Roseville continues to make the preservation of the housing stock a key community goal which fits well with the overall Livable Communities Action Plan.
