The
City of Mantorville has some good news. The city has had two new
businesses join our community, we created a revolving loan program
and are in the process of setting up a tax abatement program. The
Mantorville Economic Development Authority has already made a couple
of business loans to help our businesses thrive. In addition to
providing incentives to our existing businesses, the City of
Mantorville has some R1 land that is actively being marketed and
building permits from are up from the previous year.
In
up coming articles I would like to highlight our two new businesses.
I would like to welcome them to our community and once I confirm that
they would like to be highlighted and get more details about their
business I will include a summary.I will also include additional
information about the Tax Abatement program and the requirements for
applying for this tax relief. I encourage any existing or new
business that is looking at expanding their business in Mantorville
to speak with the EDA regarding a low interest revolving loan.
I
have additional information available on my Mayors Blog located at
MayorBradford.BlogSpot.com and will occasionally conduct surveys on
various topics the city is currently considering like ATV use within
the city, city celebrations and business incentive offers. The city
and the EDA is currently working with the University of Minnesota and
a couple of other state organizations regarding plans for Riverside
park and the use of the Rochester sales tax money. Keep and eye on my
blog for new surveys and feel free to leave a comment once you visit
my blog as well.
The
City has been working with the City of Kasson on a combined waste
water treatment plant. The city was hoping for a 2015 project start
date. In order for the project to start, the City of Mantorville as
well as The City of Kasson needs to be ready and both cities need to
get the blessing on our plans from the Minnesota Pollution Control
Administration. After a recent briefing we now understand that the
new tentative plans are for a summer of 2016 ground breaking.
Next
Monday is Memorial day, the day we take time to remember those that
have served all of us so that we may have the freedoms, rights and
lifestyle we have. During our extra day off it is important to keep
our armed forces personnel in your thoughts and prayers. The city is
decorated with our flags and many of my neighbors have the
Kasson-Mantorville flags flying in their yards.
The
City of Mantorville is now accepting applications for Park Board
commissioners as well as EDA commissioners. Those individuals
interested in serving their community on one of these sub-committees
are encouraged to fill out an application at city hall. Feel free to
contact me if you have questions about either one of these
committees.
The
weekend of the June 27th
is Mantorville's annual “Stage Coach Days” (formerly “Old Tyme
Days) and will take place downtown with several fun events planned
throughout the weekend. If you have not attend this celebration in
the past I encourage you to come down and explore some of the events
and activities.
Yours
in service,
