ISSUE
Staff has been working with the Youth Commission to provide a webpage that highlights the Legacy
Tree program that the Commission has implemented. The GIS Analyst has been able to link a map,
written information, and a photo on the website for each of the tree planting locations. Staff is
recommending a similar webpage for the successful Downtown Redevelopment projects. Please see link
for the tree webpage:
http://www.ci.rosemount.mn.us/legacy
Staff would anticipate utilizing this new marketing tool to highlight both private and public projects that
resulted in redevelopment and rehabilitation of Downtown properties. Therefore, projects such as the
Steeple Center and The Rosemount would be displayed along with projects such as Fluegel’s and the
First State Bank of Rosemount. In many cases we have photos that would allow the City to show before
and after images. Details such as the square footage, number of units, site activities will be posted.
Recent discussion at the Port Authority has surrounded the need to market both the development
opportunities in the City along with the City’s success stories. Staff is excited to implement this tool, as
it will be useful in conveying the City’s commitment to continued improvement, while marketing the
City as a desirable place to invest and grow.
