Hegland handoutThe EDA Charter
In order for business development to happen in Scandia there are a number of
factors which must be addressed in advance:
1. A business friendly Comprehensive Plan
2. High speed internet
3. Waste treatment
4. City water
5. Appropriate zoning
Most of these are similarly important for residential development.
We cannot wait until we have a candidate or candidates in hand to address these
factors, they must be addressed in advance as no interested business will wait
while we get "our house in order".
The road inventory/analysis prepared by Neil Soltis presents the case very
graphically as to what is the major factor facing our community and its
management..... ROADS.
Taking the cheap route of reclaiming and repaving what we have it has been
determined that we need to budget an average of $1,810,816 PER YEAR for our
roads. With an annual budget of just over $2 million this is clearly impossible.
While it is senseful to consider full depth reconstruction rather than just rerclaim
and repave, the cost per year to pursue that option is an estimated astronomical
$2,845,630 per year. So how do we even begin to deal with such monumental
sums? The only senseful solution is a development of our tax base through
commercial and residential development.
With no substantive action the average Scandia homeowner/property owner is
facing colossal tax/levy increases in the future OR the worst roads in Washington
County.
