GAINING A NEW PERSPECTIVE <br /> The purpose of this exercise is to explore basic assumptions about <br /> economic development and how they relate to future development in <br /> Pequot Lakes. Each participant must place themselves in the role of a <br /> local economic player. The more each participant is willing and able to <br /> think from a different point of view, the more informative and valuable <br /> the outcome. <br /> The Scenario <br /> A philanthropic local resident has donated 40-acres of land to the City to be <br /> used "for economic development." (If you know who owns this land, <br /> pretend you don't, because this is merely a hypothetical exercise.) <br /> - <br /> �' <br /> � <br /> IWIMP <br /> Ito — 4 <br /> IIU� .iii=w� .`i n anu j'i hi\31'�` ' I! 1I� � <br /> \-1,41< E4 t <br /> w! � i ,1sirY. <br /> IMP <br /> i wi ■ 11 <br /> c <br /> Your Task <br /> You will be assigned one of the following roles: <br /> 1.
