(B) Action Sought The Council should call for a Public Hearing to consider the Development Agreement for Emerson Process Management. Background Emerson Process Management (Rosemount, Inc.).is the company with which the City, Scott County, State of Minnesota, and ISD 191 have been working for several months to occupy the former ADC 2 site. This will bring 500 well - paying jobs to the region. The City Council has approved tax abatement as part of an economic development incentive package for Emerson, which was contingent upon the execution of a Development Agreement with Emerson. The Agreement is still in the process of being negotiated. Once it is finalized, it will need to be adopted, following a Public Hearing. This action sets a Public Hearing for the regular Council meeting of March 19th Recommendation I recommend setting March 19th at 7 PM as the Public hearing to consider the Development Agreement for Emerson. This will be a joint Public Hearing with the EDA. Budget Impact Setting the Public hearing does not impact the City budget. Relationship To Visioning This supports Goal B, "Positively manage the challenges and opportunities presented by growth, development, and change."
