Title:
RCP Presentation: Community Center
Purpose/Background:
Background
The City is working with the University of Minnesota for the 2017-2018 academic year through the Resilient Communities Project (RCP). This program presented an opportunity for the City to capitalize on access to a myriad of departments and courses through the U of MN to get assistance on projects that were on the radar but not moving forward due to a lack of staff resources/capacity.
One of the courses, Land Use Planning, was found to be a match for one of the projects proposed, "Community Center Plan". The student group completed their project and have gratefully agreed to present their work to the EDA for comments and feedback. See attached. This is an opportunity for students to gain experience with presenting to a public board. Staff would encourage the EDA to ask questions and provide feedback to the students.
Students:
Erik Thompson, Leoma Van Dort, Kathleen Russell
Sidebar, RCP Open House at City Hall:
There were roughly 20 projects completed through the RCP program. Some may be of interest to the EDA (recruiting retail, business incubators). All RCP project will be on display, open house style, at the Ramsey City Hall, on January 23, from 5-7pm. EDA members are welcome to attend and participate.
