Updates on 2015 Projects:

Ingleside: Ingleside is a family-owned 42 unit assisted living facility located on the south end of Fairmont near Hall

Lake. By using the tool of Tax Increment Financing, Inglesidc was able to add 20 additional memory care suites to the

facility in 2016. This project will ultimately create an additional 13 FTEs.

Graffiti Corner: Using Tax Increment Financing, Graffiti Corner

completed construction and officially opened in 2016. This frozen yogurt

and coffee shop is owned and operated by John and Patti Kaspcr, both born

and raised in Fairmont. This project has created 9 FTEs.

Commodity Services: Commodity Services, a transportation

management service, redeveloped the corner of Albion Avenue and State Street with a 12,000 square foot

office complex. This newly constructed space has allowed for Commodity Services and Bolton & Menk

Engineering Firm, tenants of the facility, to expand, and allows for their former office spaces to be made

available to existing and starfc-up businesses. This project utilized the tool of Tax Increment Financing.

Special Projects:

Fajrmont Area Life: FEDA, in partnership wldi the Fairmont Area Chamber of Commerce, was awarded a grant

from the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation to fund the Brain Gain Project. Project developments include

launching a website - FairmontAreaLife.com; conducting numerous social media campaigns and making numerous

presentations to Martin County organizations and. businesses, which aided in the recruitment of 4 families to Martin

County. The goal ofFairmont Area Life is to recruit individuals between the ages of 30-49 to relocate to Martin

County to live, work and. play. Those choosing to relocate to the area bring connections, education and family; in all

reality, the "tools" needed to sustain our community and ensure it will thrive into the future. The project's branding

of 'All we're missing is you' is taking off in local marketing efforts, Le. banners, rack cards, welcome bags. While

this project focuses on recruiting people to our area, it can be used by businesses as they work to recruit workforce as

Fairmont Area Life highlights our people and community as a whole.

Small Cities Development Program Grant Application: FEDA authored both a preliminary application

and a full application to DEED for die SCDP which was awarded funding in the amount of $305,250. With matching

funds, coming from past programs and partnerships with Minnesota Valley Action Council and USDA Rural

iment, the total amount available is $517,500. These funds will be used to rehabilitate 15 owner-occupicd,

single family homes in the target area, south of Blue Earth Ave and

east of Albion Avenue. Rehabilitation projects focusing on health,

safety and weatherizaUon arc given top priority. The City of j

i^~ Fairmont is currently administering this program. More detailed^~~i

^ information and maps of the target area are available at City Hall.

City of Fairmont. and the Fairmont Area School District. The School is putting up the land while the City is paying

§. for Lhc infrastructure. Both parHes receive payment as the individual lots are sold " the lot price consists of the land

a: value, infrastructure charges and development costs. This also benefits the buyer, as there are no special assessments

the State of Minnesota. This certification allows businesses to save time and money by

eliminating the unknowns of the site search.

lounges.
