Beginning with page <br /> 10: <br /> Background: <br /> Language issues were discussed. There is a statement another Industrial Park needs to be <br /> created; there is room to grow in the existing one and there could be a statement that <br /> there is potential for build-out. It should maybe be addressed as the Business Park. <br /> While we have reduced the lot sizes in the Business Park, we currently have nothing <br /> sizable for new businesses. <br /> When referring to our commuter-shed the cities listed may be too restrictive. They could <br /> be generalized. "Tremendous growth" and"natural revitalization"may need to be <br /> elaborated on. <br /> Minutes 1 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> January 21, 2010 <br />
