necessary to support the analysis of MUSA expansion. This would require identifying vacant

it, but are about two years away from a completion date. Costs and possible assessments for
future improvements have to be examined also. The gathering of all this information is a very
large task and will take some time. Growth forecasts from Metropolitan Council extend out to
the year 2020 and do not connect with MUSA boundaries. Councilmember Carroll questioned

in mind the need for industrial development in eastern Rosemount.
