business retention visits and redevelopment projects.
DISCUSSION
Staff has contracted with Ms. King in order to help the city create strategies on how to approach
business retention and redevelopment projects. Ms. King has started to study Maplewood and
its practices to see what else the city could be doing to further enhance its economic
development efforts.
Ms. King has requested that at the April 26 meeting she be afforded the opportunity to get to
know each of the commissioners and what experiences and backgrounds they bring to the field
of economic development. Each commissioner should be prepared to talk about themselves

the biggest opportunities and challenges for Maplewood in terms of economic development.
After the introduction period, Ms. King will have a prepared presentation and discussion for the
