Spring is in the Air - EDA - MyOsseo

We all have a chance to get around Osseo and see what Winter has left behind. I am excited to see the buds come onto the trees.

Spring means change for the Community.

Osseo is in a pivotal time of it's history - we all need to pull together to ensure our community stays alive and well. Please check out our new businesses in town that you may not have seen. There are quite a few - with a sporting goods store coming to Central Ave in May I believe!

Please encourage your friends to look at Osseo - commercial rental rates are still quite reasonable with several recently updated spaces of all shapes and sizes. Help us all bring business back to our town, and stop in to our merchants to see what they have for us for Springtime!

As always - please email me with your discussion items - we can post them and see what everyone thinks about it.

My recent question for Comment from a city resident- Should the EDA be as active in real estate acquisition as they have been. Is it necessary to buy a property, and then let it go for a fraction of the price to stimulate development? Has what we have done so far actually benefited Osseo or just given us more empty space?

Another Comment - Should Osseo continue the MyOsseo wireless initiative - does the benefits outweigh the cost to he residents?

Please share you thoughts - more next week!

Website Blog is active

It is with great pleasure that I announce that my city councilor website is open for business. If you are reading this - then you have found this blog.

Feel free to enter comments on the postings - this is what it is here for.

Feel free to start some new threads if you are able (I am getting used to this myself) - and if you can.t - then email to me and will will gladly do it!

I will be asking for feedback on city issues here as well. It is important for me to hear from you prior to things - as opposed to after when you are upset about something. Please be proactive about this - my next post will include some current topics being tossed around at the city level
