TO THE ELK RIVER MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL:
The Elk River Area Citizens League encourages the Mayor and
Councilmembers of The Ci ty of Elk River to examine the issue
of supporting a grant to salvage the old Sherburne County
Courthouse in the context of the downtown area as a whole.
As a grassroots ci tizen group, the Citizens League has had a
continuing concern with the downtown and its impact on the
entire community. We envision the old courthouse issue as
an opportunity to effect a win-win resolution to some
longstanding problems, including "the hole" on Main Street.
Working in consul tation and cooperation with the downtown
interests, and using a creative approach, the City Council
and Mayor might use this opportunity to begin generating
activity toward a revital ization of the entire downtown
ar'e.a.
We urge your careful
i :.sue.
comprehensive consideration of this
