Title:
15153 Nowthen BLVD, Old City Hall Site, Development Planning Update
Background:
Per EDA direction, staff is working to get the old municipal center site "Shovel Ready Certified" through the State of Minnesota; with the ultimate goal of attracting a data center(s). Additionally, staff is working to create development scenario sketch plans; to be used for analytical purposes. Staff has begun investigating what zoning options the City should consider for the subject property. Finally, staff is still working with prospect Delta regarding the Subject Property.
The purpose of this case is to update the EDA on all items mentioned above.
The purpose of this case is to update the EDA on all items mentioned above.
Observations:
The Subject Property is three separate parcels, covering just over 20 acres. See attached profile for detailed information. Currently, the City houses their second fire station in one of the two existing buildings located on the Subject Property.
In summary, the "Shovel Ready" certification gets a number of documents, licenses and surveys in order before a developer steps forward. This makes a Ramsey site more competitive with other available sites. Additionally, the certified sites are marketed by the State of Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) at a national level.
