EDA strikes deal for residential, commercial and retail development BY SHANNON GRANHOLM MANAGING EDITOR
PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Golden Lake musical medley A light breeze, sunshine, low humidity and moderate summer warmth created ideal conditions for a recent Music on the Lake outdoor concert at Golden Lake Park in Circle Pines, featuring the Centennial Community Band. The performance was the first in a series of concerts that continue throughout the summer.
LINO LAKES — If everything goes as planned, the area next to City Hall could look very different in the next couple of years. A developer is proposing to construct a marketrate, age-targeted, multi-family rental building, two restaurants and a multitenant retail building. Silver Creek Equity, LLC, has made an offer to purchase approximately 6.27 acres of the land consisting of five parcels. The property lies northwest of City Hall and is bounded by Town Center Parkway and Village Drive. Per the purchase agreement, Silver Creek Equity will purchase the property for $2,376,154. “The proposed use is generally consistent with the original development master plan,” Community Development Director Michael Grochala explained. The EDA unanimously approved a purchase agreement and development agreement last week. Grochala detailed a bit of the land’s history. In 2010 approximately 20 acres of undeveloped land within the Legacy at Woods Edge development was tax forfeited to the state of Minnesota. In September 2013 the EDA obtained, at no cost, the tax forfeited property from the state. The transfer was made to the EDA with the intent that 1) EDA ownership would facilitate development of the site; and 2) that sale proceeds would be applied to the retirement of existing debt service for public improvements associated with the site

There are several farmers markets in the area that feature local fresh produce, handcrafted artisan items and live entertainment. In a climate like Minnesota’s, you can expect the best quality and most varieties of produce in warmer temperatures, which makes late spring, summer and early fall your best bet for a trip to the farmers market. Better weather attracts more vendors, as they anticipate a larger crowd and higher demand for their goods.
