RECOMMENDATION: Information Item.
BACKGROUND
The City has participated in the Open to Business (OTB) program since 2013. The most recent
contract was for a 2-year period (2022-2023). The Port budget takes into consideration the City’s
share of the program, which is $5,200. Given the pace of activity in Rosemount and changes in the
business community, staff felt an annual face-to-face update from OTB would be beneficial.
For this meeting, our Dakota County OTB representative Natalie Mouilso will provide a brief
presentation of her OTB work in Rosemount. She has a strong read on the business climate and
community and is available for any questions the Port may have.
RECOMMENDATION
None, informational update only.
