2. DISCUSSION OF EDAAC MARKETING PROPOSAL.
Rudy Thibodeau discussed his $5,000 marketing plan. He
suggested a sign at either end of the City on Highway
101 noting the construction and indicating that Otsego
was constructing a sewer and water system and was open
to business development.
He suggested a meeting of landowners and local realtors
to get everybody interested in selling the land. That
would be followed by a meeting of landowners, realtors,
and developers to get everyone interested in developing
the land. These meetings would be run like the City
Informational Meetings held as part of the
Comprehensive Plan, with City staff in attendance to
answer any questions.
Rudy recommended that the City prepare an informational
packet for the developers which would include the
City's development regulations, a checklist of what
needed to be done, and a list of development
I
ncentives. He suggested that the City use some of the
money it had saved in constructing the sewer and water
system for financial incentives. He thought that the
City should also try and determine in advance what
types of developments would be eligible for incentives.
Mayor Fournier noted that the time allotted for the
meeting was up. He thought that this was a good plan
and should be reviewed and discussed as quickly as
possible. After discussion the EDA and EDAAC agreed to
meeting again Monday, June 21, 1999 at 6:30 p.m.
