ISSUE
On September 7, Amazon announced that they are looking for another headquarters. While the region
will be responding to the RFP, local governments with sites to be considered must submit the sites to
Greater MSP by September 22, 2017. At this time, staff intends to highlight the UMore property,
specifically focusing on the Opus property. We hope to have some more information by the meeting.
Staff will let Commissioners know if the Rosemount site is included in the RFP submittal which will
occur by October 19, 2017.
RECOMMENDATION
Information Item, no action required
