MnDOT should be expected within 30 days. MnDOT is currently support-

Jens Beck and Nick Boosalis, developers of Water ford 3rd Phase,
would like Council to consider funding methods like tax increment
financing for the intersection. The proportion of cost sharing
should be considered.

building with parking and retail center with auto service.
Council directed the staff to submit the plans to MnDOT for approval
and request funding. Alternative funding sources will be discussed
