C AN MEMORANDUM TO: OWASSO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES P-0- FROM: RICKEY HAYES SUBJECT: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR'S REPORT DATE: December 6, 2004 Progress continues on the commercial sites in the 96th Street retail corridor. The Smith Farms Marketplace development by Hunt Properties is fully closed and construction has begun. Site work is going on now and construction on the buildings will kick off in a few weeks. Engineering is currently taking place on Garnett Road and 96th Street improvements to coincide with the opening of the Smith Farms center. Several other properties along Garnett and 96th Street are being considered for commercial development also. I had the privilege of attending the Governor's Economic Development Summit in Oklahoma City a few weeks ago and enjoyed the networking opportunities and information that the meetings provided. I attended meetings with AEP -PSO management regarding issues related to customer service and governmental concerns in and around the Tulsa metro area. The International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) held a regional meeting in Tulsa in October and I had opportunity to attend and assist Hunt Properties in several meetings with retailers, as well as networking with Tulsa commercial brokers on several projects in Owasso. In November, I was in Dallas for two days of training and a couple of days of meetings with retailers. The training was part of the Economic Development certification process through IEDC and was entitled "Economic Development Marketing for Cities ". Also in November, I attended a reception at the Renaissance for Ardent Healthcare Systems, and had opportunities to network and share the Owasso message. Fuddruckers Gourmet Hamburgers and The Lanes at Coffee Creek, a 32 lane bowling and recreational facility, are both opening this month. Owasso retailers are prepared for holiday sales and by all considerations should have a strong holiday season. The Bailey Medical Group and the Owasso Medical Campus (St. Johns Healthcare Systems) are both at the building permit stage. Both groups have received final site plan approval from the Planning Commission and the Owasso City Council. Site preparations should begin soon. As always, if I can serve you in any way, please call. Your input and direction are always important to the success of our efforts.
