Eagan May Seek Public Funding for Redevelopment of Lockheed Martin Site
Eagan city officials say they would like to consider the use of Tax Increment Financing to help fund improvements on the property. But first, they have to change a state law.
Pedestrian access, a multi-level parking garage, a mix of office and retail space. Eagan city officials have a laundry list of features they would like to see Minneapolis-based CSM Corporation incorporate into the company's redevelopment of the former Lockheed Martin property. But to get there, the city may have to chip in some public money. Eagan Community Development Director Jon Hohenstein said the city is considering the creation of a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District to help fund certain infrastructure improvements on the 47.4-acre site, which is situated just off Pilot Knob Road in Eagan. WHAT IS A TIF DISTRICT? When new development is constructed on a site, the market value of that property and its property taxes typically rise…

Walkability? Does that mean the city will finally start snow removal on the sidewalks? Daily, I find it a huge waste of resources when I see city vehicles parked with the engines running, apparently doing nothing, also driving on the walking paths in and around the central park yet they dont have any resources to remove the snow on the city sidewalks around the park or accessing the main streets … more ›

Maguire: County's Pilot Knob Road Proposal "Premature", Harmful to Local Businesses
Dakota County officials, Eagan City Council members and a handful of local business owners sparred over the future of a busy portion of Pilot Knob Road on Tuesday night.
Follow Eagan Patch on Twitter | Like us on Facebook | Sign up for our daily newsletter | Blog for us After conducting a months-long traffic study on a portion of Pilot Knob Road in Eagan, Dakota County officials finally submitted a recommendation to the Eagan City Council for review.

Eagan Mayor Mike Maguire rejected the recommendation during a heated debate, calling it "premature", "inflexible" and harmful to local businesses along the roadway. Pilot Knob Road has been under county scrutiny for months. County officials seek to relieve heavy traffic congestion on a .36-mile-long stretch between Yankee Doodle Road and …

I bank in person at Wells Fargo, and have not once seen a collision or even a near-collision at the Wells Fargo driveway. Though this is anecdotal, what is statistics other than a significant number of anecdotal measurements? My observations span the most recent eight years, a wide variety of days & times, and "paydays" as well as "slow" days. If the city or county wants to put in a turn lane, … more ›

CSM Withdraws Lockheed Martin Plans, City Steps in with Site Study
City officials hope the $15,000 study will help them hone their focus for the 47-acre Lockheed Martin site.
Follow Eagan Patch on Twitter | Like us on Facebook | Sign up for our daily newsletter| Blog for us CSM Corporation, the developer behind a proposed 510,000-square-foot retail complex on the Lockheed Martin site in Eagan, says its plans for the project are in a holding pattern until Dakota County completes a nearby road corridor study. But that hasn't stopped the Eagan City Council, which last week commissioned a roughly $15,000 study of the 47-acre property that city officials say will help identify the city's vision and expectations for the land. The council unanimously voted to hire Minneapolis-based Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. to conduct the study following CSM's decision to withdraw its development application for the property. CSM …

Eagan's Advisory Planning Commission has a big agenda on tap for its regular meeting on Tuesday evening.

Retail Redevelopment Plans for Lockheed Martin Site Get Mixed Reception
The owner of the Lockheed Martin site unveiled its plans in front of several dozen area residents and officials at a Wednesday evening meeting in Eagan.
The developers of the Lockheed Martin property unveiled their plans for a 510,000-square-foot retail complex in front of an alternately warm and cold audience on Wednesday night. Several dozen area residents attended CSM Corporation's neighborhood meeting at the Eagan Community Center to get a first look at the company's redevelopment plans for the property. CSM purchased the 47-acre parcel in downtown Eagan following Lockheed Martin's announcement in 2010 that it plans to close its sprawling facility and move many of the jobs at the site to New York and California. The developers plan to begin construction on the proposed complex in April 2013—one month after Lockheed moves out of the facility, and open the retail center in the fall of …
