Roseville is one of the few cities to border both <br />Minneapolis and St. Paul yet sustain a warill and welcoming suburban atmosphere. <br /> <br />Our locations coupled with programs such as the 1-35W Corridor project and the Twin Lakes <br />project make Roseville an ideal location to study. Roseville is very unique in that it offers its <br />residents and guest the opportunity to embrace the highlights of urban living without the <br />challenges that often accompany the urbac experience. <br /> <br />The City of Roseville works closely with their residents and businesses to secure a high quality of <br />life that is unheard of in many large-city first ring suburbs. The City of Roseville also maintains a <br />silong working relationship with Roseville Visitors Association. <br /> <br />The Roseville Visitors Association (RVA) acts as a marketjng arm for the city of Roseville and <br />its hospitality community. Given that Roseville is noted for being safe, clean and convenient the <br />biggest part of our job is educating potential visitors on what we have to offer. <br /> <br />Along with our destination-marketing program we also offer several complimentary services. Our <br />most popular service allows group-lodging coordinators, the oppOliunity to review rates, dates <br />and amenities of local hotels. This service would be particularly useful for your visitjng fellows, <br />support staff and students. <br /> <br />I am confident that Roseville, Minnesota an obviously well designed and livable community, <br />would offer all the necessary components for a successful 2002 Urban Planning Program. <br /> <br />If there is anything our office can do to secure the 2002 Urban Planning Program, please feel free <br />to contact me. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />ItJ$r <br /> <br />Dino LoBaido <br /> <br />Executive Director <br />Roseville Visitors Association <br />651-633-3002 Voice 2100 North Snelling Avenue <br />877-980-3002 Toll Free Suite 30 <br />651-636-0475 Fax Roseville, MN 55113 <br /> <br /> <br />
