Note for May 2024:  I am awaiting the visitor numbers for Sandy Ridge and the Zigzag Ranger Station \u2013 our source for this information has been out of the office for a bit.  I will update this report with those numbers when they become available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Econ Devl \u2013 Strategic Plan progress<\/u><\/em><\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Action 6.1.2 \u2013 Retail market analysis<\/u><\/strong>:  <\/strong>Staff has received the first draft of the retail market report and is currently reviewing it for changes.  We are anticipating sending drafts back and forth for edits with ECONorthwest over the next few weeks and hoping to have the final report ready for Council in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Action 5.3.3 \u2013 Meinig Memorial Park<\/u><\/strong>: <\/strong> New signage has been installed at Pioneer Parking lot and the new public parking lot next to the Junker Building.  New wayfinding signage for Meinig Park is en route from Ambrosini Design and should arrive and be installed sometime in late June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AntFarm Outdoor Building (code enforcement)<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 <\/strong>After Development Services staff noticed the peeling paint and plywood covering an old window on the south fa\u00e7ade of the AntFarm Outdoor Building on Proctor Blvd, the Ec Dev Manager reached out to AntFarm staff to address these issues.\u00a0 The south (and north and west) elevations of the building now have a new coat of paint, and the plywood has been removed.\u00a0 Many thanks to Director of Workforce Development Neal Hatley and the Ants for correcting this issue for us so quickly\u2026.nice work, fellas!\u00a0 (the AntFarm logo sign is being reprinted and will go back up on the building next week) Below are before and after pics of the south facade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23-002 TI Sandy Underground (VFW) project<\/u><\/strong>:  <\/strong>This project now seems to be in the home stretch.  The interior of the building is now almost complete.   As a courtesy to these new business owners, Ec Dev had the AntFarm Downtown Maintenance crew clean up the planter strip outside the front entrance and the weed infested area behind the building to add some curb appeal.  Tentative completion date: Fall 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21-010FAC Tollgate Inn Covered Structure<\/u><\/strong>:  <\/strong>This project appears to have run into a small setback.  It appears that some of the brackets for the metal pieces of the framing structure were incorrect and need to be replaced, and the steel post measurements were off and resulted in beams that were too short.  The project architect is in the process of correcting both issues now, and a July completion date still looks likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
