APPROVAL: Signature - title MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report [ / , mments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Attached please find samples of promotional items which are currently under development by the North Metro Development Association arm of the Northern Mayors Association. Brooklyn Center is a regular member of the Northern Mayors Association. A number of communities within that group have chosen to make additional investment in the Development Association arm which promotes and lobbies for private and public industrial /commercial development projects in the north metro area. • This arm of the Northern Mayors Association is the heart, I believe, of the promotional effort needed to bolster public /private partnership in the north metro area. A major thrust of the North Metro Development Association is to work in the public /private sector as a cheerleader and promotional agency for the north metro area. Because there has been a consistent pattern of major public and private development going to the southwest area of the metropolitan area, approximately three years ago the Northern Mayors Association was formed to serve as a promotor of the north metro area. To accomplish this role, the North Metro Development Association was established and a separate budget was given to it so that cities could choose to be involved in j ust the Mayors ayors Association and /or the development promotional activities. From my � promotion activities of h perspective, the p on . p the North Metro Development Association offers the opportunity for us to loin with other communities in the area to develop a quality effort promoting the assets and attributes of our area. By pooling our resources we can make an impact. By going it alone, we would spend major time and dollar efforts which might be counterproductive. RECOMMENDATION: It is our recommendation the EDA become a member of the North Metro Development Association arm of the Northern Mayors Association and authorize membership in 1989 in the amount of $21,169 to be paid from EDA funds. • 4` s The North Metro Development Association The communities of the northern metropolitan area have e a story to tell ... a story of strength in the people of this area, their government leaders, and the existing business community. For too long, this story has gone untold because over the years the movers and shakers in the Twin Cities have looked south and west for development opportunities instead of north. Now we have a new organization that is ready to tell our story, to promote economic development and redevelopment, and to enhance the image of the entire northern metropolitan area. Meet our new community storyteller and cheerleader, the North Metro Development Association (NMDA). The following communities will carry the NMDA banner: Ramsey, Coon Rapids, Blaine, Columbia Heights, New Brighton, Champlin, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Crystal, New Hope and Robbinsdale. In a nutshell, NMDA's message to Minnesota's business and political power structure will be that the north metro area is uniquely situated to attract and retain industrial and commercial development. Why? NMDA is ready to answer that question with a long list of north metro assets; namely, • land availability at a reasonable cost • a long history of positive and cooperative development attitudes • a highly - skilled labor force • a growing political power base • a well- planned and maintained infrastructure • significant water resources • professional and dedicated local governmental units • comprehensive health and medical programs and facilities • a strong commitment to quality recreational programs and facilities, meeting a wide variety of citizen needs • quality educational institutions that are not only "results oriented," but also creative in their application of resources and leadership to promote the community NMDA's first major task will be to publish a high -quality developers' magazine titled NORTHERN LIGHT. NMDA plans to publish NORTHERN LIGHT five or six times a NMDA Page 2 year with a projected circulation of 15,000 to 20,000. The focus of NORTHERN LIGHT will be to promote the north metro area's economic development and redevelopment activities. NMDA will target the magazine to decision makers, thought leaders, business executives, educators, chamber members, business organizations and associations, elected officials, major developers, major employers and the news media. Each of the 11 communities in NMDA will be featured in NORTHERN LIGHT at least once during the year. A team of professional writers, photographers and graphic artists will produce the magazine. Detailed "gate fold maps" will also be included in the magazine that will graphically feature a variety of information such as executive housing, recreational facilities, educational facilities, medical and health facilities and water resources. A Develo er Directory" p s will also be included. It will list the resources and P ersonnel that are available in the north metro area to assist in either development or redevelopment activities. This directory will include a listing of governmental agencies, business organizations, chambers and educational institutions that have identified personnel and/or resources available for promoting the area. The first issue is scheduled to be distributed near the end of July. NMDA is looking forward to your comments and suggestions on NORTHERN LIGHT, as this marketing tool is designed to assist the community of the north metro area. -30- i t f !
