Dakota Future Annual Reoort Attached please find a copy of the 2005 Annual Report for Dakota Future. This is the organization that was created after the Dakota County Economic Development Partnership was dissolved several years ago. The City of Lakeville, as well as other cities in Dakota County, are not currently dues paying members in this new organization, however, most cities continue to be involved in some or all of the activities sponsored by Dakota Future. Dakota Future is currently operating with funding provided by private sector organizations. Bill Coleman, who is the part-time Executive Director for Dakota Future has requested an opportunity to make a presentation at a future EDC meeting to provide an update on Dakota Future. I will schedule this presentation for a regular meeting in January or February. Building Permit Update Through November 30, 2005 the City has issued building permits with a total valuation of $179,939,101. This compares to a valuation of $225,954,031 during the same period in 2004. Included in this amount is $39,708,500 for commercial and industrial permits year to date, which compares to $41,709,142 during the same period in 2004. Also included in the total year to date valuation are permits for 214 new single-family dwellings and 403 townhome and condo units. This compares to permits for 356 new single-family dwellings and 514 townhouses and condos during the same period in 2004. The total number of housing unit permits is down 253 units for the same period in 2004. Attached is a copy of the full building permit report through November 30, 2005. Articles on Proposed Eminent Domain Legislation Attached are two different articles on legislation that has or will be introduced at both the Federal and State level regarding the use of eminent domain for economic development activities. The interest in this issue is a result of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Kelo vs. City of New London case earlier this year. This is an issue that staff will continue to follow and will provide updates to the EDC as information becomes available. The Economic Development Association of Minnesota (of which the City is a member) will be involved in this issue as it makes it's way through the upcoming State legislative session scheduled to begin in March. Minnesota 5ho in Center Association Awards Two commercial projects recently received Minnesota Shopping Center Association 2005 Shopping Center Tribute Awards for Retail Real Estate. The Argonne Village project developed by United Properties along County Road 50 won the award under the Development Process category and the Kowalski's Market at Lakeville Crossing developed by Paster Enterprises received the Interior Design for Retail /Non-Food Service category. Congratulations to the developers of both of these quality commercial retail projects. Haioov Holidays I hope you all have the opportunity to enjoy the Holiday Season with friends and family. I personally want express my appreciation for the support that I and other staff have received from EDC members in 2005 and I look forward to working with all of you in 2006.

Eminent Domain Legislation Would Limit the Economic Development; SEARCN/ BrownSelds Redevelopment Exempted LGEAN CITY In response to the recent Kelo, et al v. City ofNew London case, the U.S. House of Representatives recently passed H.R. 4128, the Private Property Rights E•YAq. Protection Act of 2005. The measure, which passed with a bipartisan vote of 376- uiDATE 38, would forbid states and local govermnents from taking private property for © economic development purposes if they have received any federal economic development dollars in the past two yeazs. Any state or local government that violates this rule would forfeit federal economic development funds for a period SiTENAP of two yeazs. © Additionally, private property owners would have the right to sue state and local ASR governments up to seven yeazs after the property takings if the property is L9 EAN eventually used for economic development purposes. That means that even if the original reason for taking the property was not economic development, if the owner can show that the property was used for economic development purposes within the seven-yeaz window, then the state or local government could face the HONE prospect of losing federal funding. Tn the Kelo case, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote that states and local governments can use eminent domain authority for private economic development, as long as the land in question is for public use. Supporters of the bill azgue that H.R. 4128 restores balance to a more traditional definition of public uses of eminent domain, such as for roads, utilities, schools or military bases. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), H.R. 4128 would "impose significant new conditions on the receipt of federal economic development assistance by state and local governments." CBO goes on to state that since this language impacts a large pot of federal funds, H.R. 4128 would essentially restrict the use of eminent domain, thus having a substantial effect on a local govermnents' authority to oversee land use in their area. An amendment sponsored by Reps. Gary Miller (R-CA) and Bernice Johnson (D- TX) exempted brownfields redevelopment from the bill's prohibitions on the use of eminent domain for economic development.

Since we haven't had a "short session" in Nokomis LRT Station years, it is unlikely that the 2006 Legislative Session will be all that short, and possibly may not result in a bonding bill either.

The winner is the state with the most economic development as measured by number of projects submitted. "Number of projects" is the key phrase. Showcasing Minnesota's accomplishments in a national magazine proves we are a state with consistent growth and great potential -and we want everyone to know about it! Not only have we achieved overall high rankings (within the top 15 each year so far) but our cities too are cited within "micropolitan" Top Ten listings. Throughout the year staff in the Business Development Office search through Minnesota business publications and newspapers for projects that meet Site Selection's qualifications. However, it's really the economic developers, planners, and all other city, county and local levels that know what is happening in their areas. This is why DEED needs everyone's help in identifying every project and making sure it gets entered into the report. The main qualification for the MN Business Expansion Report is new building construction of some kind. Other criteria include: new square footage of at least 20,000; or $1 million investment or more; or 50 jobs or more. Renovations of $1 million or more also count. These are projects of . ~ manufacturing, warehouse, office, R&D, mixed-use, and hotels. The report is administered by Judy Parker, who also manages the MNPRO Web site. She may already be familiar to many of you. Give her a call if you think you have a qualifying project or email her at: judy.parker@state. mn.us for a spreadsheet of listings so far. The more projects gathered, the better Minnesota's ranking and exposure within Site Selection magazine - "widely regarded as the most authoritative publication in the corporate real estate and economic development industries." file:///Users/gretchenz/Desktop/edam%20dec%20n1/DEED.htm (1 of 2)l2/14/2005 10:41:15 AM development ~ . ~ . ~ ~ / Economic Development Association of Minnesota return to main page New Fixed Rate Financing Program Helps in Development Rising Interest Rate Environment News From Hennepin County and the City of Minneapolis New Fixed Rate The Common Bond Fund (CBF), a new financing source to help small- Financing program and medium-sized businesses, is available in Hennepin County. helps in rising interest rate environment Private companies may now obtain long-term fixed or variable financing based on tax-exempt and taxable bonds rates for capital expenditures and production.

Currently, fixed rates for the tax-exempt bonds are in the mid 6 percent _ range on a $2 million size deal for 20 years. These fixed rates may be locked in for 15 to 30 years depending upon the economic life of the underlying assets financed. Nonmanufacturing uses such as warehouses, distribution or call centers, and commercial uses may be financed on a taxable band rate, (currently in the 7 percent range}. Bars, restaurants, entertainment facilities, start-up firms and spec-buildings are not eligible for CBF financing. The CBF is one of only six such funds in the U.S. rated "A-" by Standard 8~ Poors. This pooling permits medium-sized businesses to access lower rates. Issuance costs are normally under 4 percent of the total issue. The city in which the project is located must give its approval. No city of Minneapolis regulations are attached to these bonds. For 25-plus years the city of Minneapolis has issued such bonds, and therefore know who all the key _ parties are.

MET expects to create 23 new jobs. • Crystal Distribution Inc. is constructing a 30,000 square foot facility on 3.7 acres. The company provides sheet metal fabrication for custom heating, ventilation and air conditioning distributors throughout the United States and Canada. It will bring 31 existing jobs to Elk River and create 15 new ones. There is room on the lot for a future 12,000 square foot expansion. • Classic Acrylics Inc., a plastic fabricator of point-of-purchase displays, has broken ground on a 20,000 square foot facility on 2.48 acres. The company plans to bring 13 jobs to the city and expects to create five more. The site will have room for a future 5,000 square foot expansion. • Alliance Machine Inc., which machines plastic and metal components for high-tech manufacturers, is building an 18,000 square foot facility on 2.84 acres. The site can accommodate a future 10,000 square foot addition as well. Alliance's clients are in the aerospace, computer, medical and defense industries. It will bring 30 jobs to Elk River and create nine more. file:/i/Users/gretchenziDesktop/edam%20dec%20n1/member-news.htm (4 of 9)12/14/2005 10:43:11 AM member news One of the companies, Classic Acrylics, is building its new facility in the Elk River Business Park, while the other three companies are locating in the city's new Northstar Business Park just off U.S. Highways 10 and 169.

Greater Mankato ~ gr-eate r Chosen for New ~ M A N K ATE Distribution Center s 1i<<1e Twin C~Uea. A loc Minnesota Wal-Mart plans to develop an 880,000-sq. ft. distribution center, to be located on a 150-acre parcel on Mankato's northeast side between CSAH 3 and U.S. Highway 14. Construction is planned to begin in spring of 2007, with service to stores expected to start late 2008. Some 500 full-time jobs - providing competitive wages -initially will be created. That number could grow to 700 within the first three years of operation. Greater Mankato Economic Development Corporation, in partnership with the cities of Mankato and North Mankato, and multiple other state and local officials, have been engaged with Wal-Mart since February of 2004 and provided a proposal that led to securing the project. The Mankato location was chosen over potential sites in four states. The facility will employ the industry's latest technology and will support Wal- Martgrocery stores in the five-state area. Its economic impact will be significant, with a payroll of $20 million and spin-off of additional support businesses and jobs. It will be among the top property taxpayers in Mankato. In addition, the resulting infrastructure improvements will open up nearly 600 additional acres in the vicinity for development. No government incentives were provided to attract Wal-Mart. Colby Tanner, real estate manager for Wal-Mart, said the quality of the site, the cooperative effort of local and state governments, and the labor pool led the company to choose Mankato.

Cathy will assist in providing economic development consulting services including master planning, project management, site development evaluation, business retention and attraction services, strategic planning and marketing _ ~ - and communications.
