<br />Community Branding Campaign RFP/Q - Staff is recommending North Star <br />Destinations Strategies be used for the campaign and will be discussing this with the <br />LPEDC Board at their April 7 meeting. <br /> <br />Sylvan Beach Shoreline Protection and Beach Renourishment Project - <br />Considered at the 2/04/08 LPEDC meeting for discussion of funding. Board directed <br />staff to conduct Public Hearing on 2/25 at which the Board approved proceeding. As <br />noted at the meeting, if the County funds as requested then no action by LPEDC will be <br />required. The Parks Director is tracking funding from the County for us. <br /> <br />Town Square Project - Things are progressing nicely with the plans. We will select an <br />architectural firm next week to begin working on the proposed square for presentation to <br />you and the community in the very near future. <br /> <br />Staff is also working to secure tenants for the current building being renovated at Five <br />Point's and well as the proposed office building. We possibly have some very good <br />prospects. <br /> <br />Proposed Retail Project at SH 146, North of Port Crossing - Discussions with <br />Walter Johnson, who is assisting us with coordination with retail developers, will resume <br />in April. <br /> <br />Retail Development at area of Canada Road Park - The land development deal has <br />unfortunately fallen through however; we are continuing to work with the owners of the <br />14.5 acres which involves the detention pond and will update you soon on our progress <br />with them. <br /> <br />Other ProjectslTasks and Potential Projects - Lakes of Fairmont Greens, Retreat at <br />Bay Forest, Wesmor, Packwell, Preferred Freezer, Port Crossing, Economic <br />Development Incentives Policy, Retail on East Side of SH 146, Land Purchases, and <br />Project Apple. Each of these projects are either underway or need to be discussed and <br />refined as we move forward as some are intertwined with others noted above and/or still <br />others such as the Lakes, Retreat, Wesmor, PW, PF, and PC are under construction <br />and/or complete and require either maintenance and/or due diligence for incentives <br />tracking. <br /> <br />Summary - I hope that this summary will assist you as we move forward. I will continue <br />to work to refine the project(s) and task listing so that it can be used as a road map for <br />the EDC Division and for planning and budget purposes. Please note that the numbers <br />used for the possible proiects attached needs work and really are only included to <br />illustrate the $10,000,000 potential debt capacity per our financial advisor. <br /> <br />Cc: John Joerns, ACM <br />David Hawes, ED LPRNTIRZ <br /> <br />2 <br />
