Executive Directo FROM: David L. Carlberg, Community DeveNl&nt Director SUBJECT: EDA Activity - Project Status Report DATE: September 3, 2013 INTRODUCTION This memo provides a brief update of all EDA activities. Further details will be provided at the meeting. DISCUSSION 2014 Special EDA Events — "Concert in the Park" — EDA last discussed in March. Staff was directed to look at soliciting quotes to build a dock/pier for the pond near Target. Staff has found that very few dock/pier manufacturers exist. Most public docks /piers are being manufactured by MINNCOR Industries. Staff has had difficulty getting MINNCOR staff to respond to the City's request. 2014 Andover Business Development Day — EDA in the near future will need to set a date for this event. Preferred date is Wednesday, June 18, 2014. Andover Station Area Medians — No activity to report. Staff is waiting for Walmart to complete median changes. Once completed will re- evaluate. Andover Station North — Available sites are actively being marketed. Interest in the area has increased with the potential Walmart project. www.MetroMSP.or and City Website — Staff continues to monitor the EDA's land sales information on the MetroMSP website sponsored by Anoka County. We have also shown information on other commercial and industrial lands that are for sale in Andover on both the www.metromsp.org and in the past on the city planning department's website. Staff has updated the city's website to include and economic development department to provide prospective businesses easier access to available commercial /industrial properties as most parties interested look for an economic development section of a city's website if they are inquiring about available properties /buildings. Staff has received positive feedback on the information provided and ease of access to the information. Potential Restaurants — Pizza Ranch will be building at 13797 Jay Street NW (the old Moose and Company location). Staff continues to submit demographic information to potential restaurants as leads become available. Staff continually reviews various businesses journals looking for restaurants, retailers and other companies who are expanding their operations. As the EDA is aware, there continues to be two issues facing Andover in attracting sit down restaurants. The first is not enough daytime traffic and the second being the lack of square footage of retail space to support a restaurant. Walmart opening will add 7,000 vehicle trips a day to the area which will help. The City struggles to compete with the Riverdale shopping area in Coon Rapids. Crosstown/Bunker Redevelopment Sites — Stop -N -Shop has been removed. Staff is monitoring the area for potential acquisitions as they become available. Parkside at Andover Station — Capstone Homes, Inc. has purchased all of the lots to date. Staff is also actively pursuing the development of the remaining multi - family properties. Retail Market Analysis — Study has been placed on the Economic Development Department web page on the City website. Arbor Oaks — Project is complete. Ribbon cutting ceremony to occur on Sunday, September 8, 2013 at Noon. Monument /Entrance Signs — Sign installations at Bunker, Crosstown and Round Lake Blvd. are complete.
