MFRA prepared this article at the request of <br />the Consulting Engineers Council of Minnesota (CEC/M) to point out some of the unique planning <br />and engineering issues of our high-density, mixed-use projects, such as Maple Grove’s Arbor Lakes <br />and St. Louis Park’s Excelsior & Grand Town Centers. <br />As communities across Minnesota consider the value of adding a Town Center development, we <br />hope you will consider MFRA to assist your community or the developer with the planning, land <br />surveying, and civil engineering components of these unique projects. With our award-winning <br />experience in mixed-use developments, we believe our staff can offer your community value-added <br />expertise in the design of a safe, aesthetically-pleasing, and marketable Town Center that brings out <br />the best character of your community. <br />If you or someone from your community is attending the League of Minnesota Cities annual <br />conference, June 18-21“ in Rochester, we invite you to visit our exhibitor’s booth. MFRA will be <br />hosting the first booth as you enter the door into the Exhibit Hall and we will be happy to discuss <br />any of your community ’s upcoming projects. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact <br />either one of us at (763) 476-6010. <br />Sincerely, <br />MFRA <br />CiOS/jBl <br />Jeffrey J.
