SUBJECT: PROJECT GEMINI AREA DEVELOPMENT RATE TRANSFER TO THE PHALEN-
ATLANTIC AREA FROM GREAT NORTHERN BUSINESS CENTER NORTH
(MAXSON STEEL)
Resolution No. 4198
Action Reauested:
Approval of a resolution requesting Saint Paul's City Council to approve a change in the Xcel
Energy Area Development Rate (ADR) zone, commonly referred to as Project Gemini, from
the Great Northern Business Center — NoRh (Maxson Steel) to the Phalen-Atlantic Area on
the East Side of Saint Pau1. The Phalen-Atiantic Area includes Globe, Griffin and the Frank-
Phalen sites (see attached map).
Backqround:
Xcef Energy is authorized by the Minnesota Public Utility Commission and the Minnesota
State Legislature to offer fhe use of area development rate (ADR) zones within underutilized
industrial areas. ADR zones, commonly referred to as Project Gemini, provide reduced
electrical rates to qualifying businesses for five years. Xcel Energy designed the zones to
help existing public efforts revitalize urban neighborhoods. The reduced electrical rates in
some cases may approach twenty percent and are a significant amenity for businesses
wishing to relocate or expand in selected Saint Paui areas.
Xcel Energy agrees with us that the transfer to these Phalen Corridor area sites will aid the
Port Authority's business development efforts. Businesses in Crosby-Lake Business Center,
Empire Builder Business Center, and Great Northern Business Center - North have already
received the benefit from Pro}ect Gemini and wiN not be adversely impacted by the switch.
The authority to change ADR zones rests solely with the Saint Paul City Council. The Port
Authority and Xcef will present this recommendation jointly to the City Councii, subsequent to
Port Authority Board approval.
Recommendation:
We recommend that the Port Authority Board ap�rove a resolution requesting the Saint Paul
City Council to transfer the Area Development Rate Zone, commonly referred to as Project
Gemini, from the Great Northern Business Center — North (Maxson Steel) to the
Phalen-Atlantic Area, Globe, Griffin, and Frank-Phalen sites.
