JOSEPH .w Administrator Judy Weyrens Date: February 19, 2015 Mayor Memo To: Members of the EDA Rick Schultz City Administrator Weyrens Councilors Memo From: Cynthia Smith-Strack-MDG, Inc. Matt Killam Bob Loso RE: Location One/LOIS Community Profile and Available Sites Updates Renee Symanietz Dale Wick BACKGROUND In 2014, the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development(DEED) EDA implemented a decision to subscribe to Location One Information System (LOIS), a national Doug Danielson economic development building, site, and community database system. The subscription took Larry Bosch the place of a database/mapping system known as Minnesota Prospector which was Gary Osberg administered at the state level. Rick Schultz Dale Wick DEED's subscription allows every county and city access to LOIS free of charge. LOIS allows users to search for buildings and sites in the City by location, square footage, acreage, and building type. LOIS also allows communities to create and customize a community profile and use the data to formulate a brochure. Mapping, available site, and community profile information can be embedded into the City's website so as to provide a continuously current listing of commercial/industrial land, sites, and buildings to any interested party including companies and site selectors. I am allowing local realtors access to the site listing application as well in hopes of keeping information as up-to- date as possible. I have spent quite a bit of time creating a community profile and creating an available site database for easy editing/uploading to LOIS. I've also embedded a link to the data at our available properties page at www.citvofstioseph.com ACTION No action is needed, this item is for your information.
