Title:
Consider Supporting 1st Annual Anoka County Broker/ Developer Event
Purpose/Background:
PURPOSE:
Consider participation in a new event: 1st Annual Anoka County Broker/Developer Networking Event, Tuesday, October 27, 2015, 9-11 a.m. Staff is asking for EDA support to participate in this event.
What is the purpose of the event?
Anoka County staff, Anoka cities staff, and Great MSP staff have identified an opportunity for the north metro to improve their image/ reputation in terms of economic development. The purpose of this event is to get the "Anoka" name out in the development world, improve the perception of the north metro, and establish relationships.
Anoka County and Greater MSP are "overseeing" this event. However, the Cities of Ramsey, Anoka, and Coon Rapids are also leading this effort (in terms of planning).
What is the agenda?
The event will take place on Tuesday, October 27, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Bunker Lake Golf Club. The event will include door prizes, speakers, continuing education credits for real estate, and exhibits from Cities. The theme of the event is "Getting Deals Done" and will emphasize tools and resources to assist developers/ brokers in closing deals. The final details are currently being worked out, including the formal invite and materials.
What does City participation include?
--staff attending event (potentially speak, set-up and man exhibitor booth)
--staff purchase give-aways for the City's booth
--staff put together updated materials
--staff assist with sending out invites
--EDA members would be welcomed to attend, if desired
--budget not to exceed $2,500 (EDA Miscellaneous Professional Services)
