NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
ON A PROPOSAL
FOR A �ROGRAM TO CREATE THE
ENERGY PARK TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
DISTRICT AND TO ADOPT A TAX INCREMENT
FINANCING PLAN FOR THE PURPOSE OF
FINANCING REDEVELOPMENT IN THE DISTRICT
To Whom It May Concern:
Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of
Saint Paul, Minnesota will meet at the City Council Chamber , City
Hall in the City of Saint Paul , Minnesota at 10: 00 o'clock a.m.
on May 26, 1981 , to consider the proposal that the City Council
create the Energy Park Tax Increment Financing District, and adopt
a tax increment financing plan for the purpose of financing Re-
development in the District pursuant to Minnesota Statutes ,
Chapter 273.
Energy Park is a development of 226 acres in the Midway area
of Saint Paul bounded on the east by Lexington Parkway, on the west
by Prior Avenue (extended) , on the north by the Burlington Northern
main line tracks and on the south by the ma.in line tracks of the
former Great Northern Railroad. Parts of Energy Park already
scheduled for development are as follows : an Energy Technology
Center by Control Data Corporation, 950 units of housing by AHW,
Inc. and an office/research building by Energy Center Building,
Inc. Land for additional development in Energy Park is available
through the Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul .
The concept of Energy Park is one of mixed residential and
job providing industrial/commercial environment, in short, a new
neighborhood in Saint Paul . This new neighborhood is to have
its own central heating and cooling system to provide heat to
all buildings in Energy Park during the winter and cooling to
those buildings in the summer. Construction in Energy Park and
reconstruction of existing buildings in the Burlington Northern' s
Cnmo Shop Yards will utilize energy efficient technologies in order
to reduce energy consumption in Energy Park. The proximity of
housing to job providing industries and commerc`i al establishments
will permit reduced dependence on the automobile for persons who
choose to live and work in Energy Park, thereby further conserving
scarce energy resources .
Ultima.tely some 4800 persons will be employed in Energy Park
and appro�zmately 3, 000 people will live there . The overall
development includes new utilities , streets , sidewalks, street
lights , bicycle and walking paths , and a concourse to permit
sheltered pedestrian access in inclement weather to all ;�f the
buildings in the Park.
