The Metropolitan Council has scheduled a Public Hearing starting at
7: 00 p.m. , Thursday, May 19 , 1994 for review of the propased Regional
Blueprint. The Regional Blueprint is a policy document that defines
strategy for the regional economy, regional investment, growth guidance and
environmental issues.
The Blueprint contains "action steps" that define Metropolitan Council' s
probable reaction to Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendments. The policies
will impact the City of Rosemount when requests for expanding the
Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) are made. The Blueprint action
steps suggest that additional sewer capacity through NNSA expansion may be
increasingly difficult to acquire. Interested Councilmembers should be
eneouraged to attend the Public Hearing along with Planning Commissioners
and City Staff. Participation could include testimony at the Hearing or a
prepared resolution or statement regarding the Blueprint.
