EDA member reports childcare facility options, seeks alternative sites ahead of May 28 funding meeting
Summary
Leah told the Long Prairie EDA that ownership options for a proposed childcare facility remain undecided and that proposed forfeited-property sites were rejected; the board named a few alternative locations and flagged a May 28 City Hall meeting to decide use of "the 1.2 million from Central Bi."
Leah, an EDA member, reported on a TCDC meeting about a proposed Long Prairie childcare facility and said county or TCDC ownership are both being considered.
She told the Economic Development Authority that neither the county nor TCDC favor the initially proposed forfeited-property locations and urged the board to look for other sites. Mary suggested two potential alternatives: the CentraCare lot southwest of CentraCare Drive and the former Zion United Church.
Minutes record that a meeting is scheduled for May 28 at City Hall to determine use of "the 1.2 million from Central Bi," the phrase used in the minutes; the minutes do not specify the program source or legal terms of the funds. The board did not take a formal vote on ownership or a specific site during these minutes.
The minutes indicate discussion is ongoing; the next procedural step noted in the record is the May 28 City Hall meeting where fund use will be decided. The minutes were submitted by Mary Schmidt, EDA Secretary.
