SCALE Unified Plan:
Designed to build upon principles we have
supported through our SCALE initiatives:
• Shakopee City Council adopted
y Unified Plan "Charter"
September 1, 2009
• City Staff involved in SCALE work
y activities
Why now?
,
The "Economic Pause" allows us time
to collectively prepare for business i
growth spurred by the pending
economic recovery fi
Results of Phase I of our Work Plan
identified specific challenges and
opportunities
Through SCALE we can
• Create a safer, healthier county with
a higher quality of life;
• Protect transportation corridors;
• Link infrastructure investments to
the Unified Plan;
• Optimize existing and future ?�
infrastructure for increased �^
accessibility, as well as business 4p`
development;
• Market ourselves to the region ,
while supporting the unique role
each community plays in the county.

RE: RFI for Project 1717 questions
Description of Project
I
OBD is conducting a highly confidential site search (Project 1717) for a client who is identifying
potential locations for anew large scale secure data center. This company currently has
several data centers throughout the U.S. and is conducting a multi -state search. A key
advantage for Minnesota in this site search is that the company is seeking a site in which it can
take advantage of free cooling from our cold weather climate. This data center facility will be
LEED certified and in addition to outside air, it may also utilize a geo- thermal system for cooling
their extensive computer equipment. The company plans a single building on the site and is
very sensitive to what is built around them. The firm is seeking a suitable shovel ready, pad
ready or green field site of 50 to 75 acres. At this time we are seeking information on the site
itself along with information on potential local incentives and other resources that may be
available.
ONLY properties located within 40 miles of downtown Minneapolis will be evaluated for this
project. MN OBD will be pre- screening each site prior to submittal to the company. Three -to-
five Minnesota sites will be presented to the company following the initial site information
gathering stage.
Employment Opportunity
100 person technical workforce with annual incomes over $100,000 plus benefits.
Site Requirements
• Minimum of 50 -75 acres on a single site.
The site must have the following characteristics:
• Access to 15 -25 megawatts of electrical power supplied to the site with multiple
redundancies and providers.
• Access to multiple fiber optic carriers supplied to the site with multiple redundancies
and providers.
• Building will be set back a minimum of 200 feet from site perimeter.
• Water usage 200 gpm initial need. Long term need 440 gpm. Water should be supplied
with a minimum of two independent 8" lines. On site back up well is an advantage.
• Sewer size 6" line. Low volume.
• Please submit information on the following:
o Property tax abatement, TIF or JOBZ or other tax incentives.
o One -stop permitting
o Inspection process by qualified professionals knowledgeable about data center
construction.
o Waiver of any local fees, permits or applications
o Free or reduced real estate cost
o Infrastructure reductions or grants
o Utility rate reductions
o Site Development cost reductions
o Right -of -way relocation (if required by site)
o Workforce training opportunities
• Submittals must use the Project 1717 site submission spreadsheet form.
Please email your response to Gene Goddard, MN Office of Business Development,
