Legislative Update from Rep. Dario Anselmo

Thursday, February 8, 2018

Dear Neighbor,

Here is an update with the latest news around the Capitol and community.

2018 Session

The 2018 legislative session starts February 20, and I expect a busy and fast-paced session.

As we get set to gear up for session, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office and share your ideas, thoughts and concerns. Your input helps me better represent the people and priorities of Edina at the Capitol. I am here to serve you!

You can send me an e-mail at rep.dario.anselmo@house.mn, or call my office at 651-296-4363. I look forward to hearing from you!

Edina DEED Grant

Congratulations to the city of Edina for receiving a Contamination Cleanup and Investigation Grant from the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) to cleanup petroleum and other pollutants at Market Street and France. The city was given $581,063 in cleanup funding for the nearly 3 acre site, which will be redeveloped for a new apartment complex, commercial space and parking. The project is expected to create 67 new jobs and increase the city’s tax base by more than $1 million. Matching grants for the project will be paid by the city, developer and other grant sources.

Edina is a great place to live, work, shop and raise a family, and I am glad that our community was given grant funding by DEED to safely cleanup space downtown and start the process of redevelopment.

Thank you to the efforts of everyone in our city who helped secure these grants and are leading the way to improve our community, create jobs, grow our local tax base and keep Edina a world-class city. Well done!
