9b. Attachment B <br />SAINT PAUL AREA CHA.MBER OF COMMERCE <br />MEMO <br />To: Jeanne Kelsey <br />From: Jonathan Weinhagen <br />Date: August 10, 2015 <br />Re: Larpenteur Avenue Corridor Revitalization <br />I am writing to follow-up to our conversation regarding the Larpenteur Avenue Corridor Revitalization <br />work that we plan to embark on in September. We have engaged Smart Growth America to help <br />conduct two workshops; <br />1. 1. Preparing for economic revitalization in the Larpenteur Avenue corridor. <br />A one-day training workshop for leadership from the cities of St. Paul, Roseville, and <br />Maplewood, tailored to elected officials with the opportunity to invite leaders of neighborhoods <br />and communities who may be impacted by future redevelopment and access to transit (i.e. <br />Karen Community). The goal would be to generate ideas preliminary to creating a vision for the <br />corridor which joins St. Paul and the two neighboring municipalities. <br />2. How to Position Ramsey County communities to benefit from new trends in real estate and <br />development. <br />A one-day training workshop for leadership from the 17 Ramsey Co. communities, tailored to <br />elected officials. <br />We are confirmed for the week of September 215Y. We anticipate pre-work to be conducted on Tuesday, <br />9/22 with the workshops to follow on 9/23 and 9/24. <br />We have secured most of the funding necessary to begin this work, however, are asking the City of <br />Roseville to contribute $2,500 towards this effort. Please let me know at your earliest convenience. <br />If you have any questions please contact me by phone at (651) 265-2770. <br />Sincerely, <br />� �� <br />Jonathan Weinhagen <br />
