The plan focused on using signage is plan The area. downtown the to neighborhoods residential its reconnect to comprehensive and looks at everything from monument signs and their placement, to park kiosks, directional signage, and downtown identifiers. Since there is not a dedicated funding source to implement the plan, the next step is to identify potential funding sources to assist with its phased implementation. The T-Mobile Hometown Grants program (Hometown Grant Program: Revitalizing Small Towns | T-Mobile) is one potential funding source. The grant will help fund projects that foster local connections, like technology upgrades, outdoor spaces, the arts, and community centers. The EDA is asked to authorize the Executive Director to send a letter of support on behalf of the EDA to be included in the grant application. DISCUSSION: With the help of a grant provided by SPAAR Key Communities Program, in 2024, a Wayfinding Plan for the City of Farmington was completed. The Wayfinding Plan looks at signage as a means to create a sense of place, enhance the City's brand identity and connect park, trails, and civic destinations for all modes of travel. Page 59 of 93 The Wayfinding Plan includes a five-tiered approach - identifying specific proposed locations for each type of sign, sign accommodations, and visibility details - along with cost estimates. It is not surprising that the implementation of the comprehensive plan is costly. The plan incorporates prioritization so that, over time, funding can be secured, and the project can be implemented in a phased approach. "Downtown Identifiers" are included in the near-term prioritization due to the valuable role they have in creating a sense of place, boosting City branding, identifying important entry points, and accomplishing the overall goal of leading visitors to the downtown area. The T-Mobile Hometown Grant program has been identified as a potential funding source to assist with the implementation of the Downtown Identifier portion of the Wayfinding Plan. T-Mobile awards up to $50,000 for shovel-ready projects that foster local connections, like technology upgrades, outdoor spaces, the arts, and community centers. Proposals must include plans, budget, timeline, anticipated impact, and up to five letters of support. The EDA is asked to authorize the Executive Director to submit a letter of support (attached).

ATTACHMENTS: EDA Letter of Support Final - Farmington Wayfinding Plan_Oct 2024 Page 61 of 93 RE: T-Mobile Hometown Grant Program : Revitalizing Small Towns I am writing on behalf of the Economic Development Authority of the City of Farmington (EDA) to express our support in utilizing T-Mobile Hometown Grant funds (if awarded) for execution of the City of Farmington’s Wayfinding Plan’s Downtown Identifier signage phase. The EDA serves as the economic development arm of the City – with the goal to help existing businesses grow and prosper and attract additional investment into our community. Downtown Farmington is the home to many long-standing businesses, is filled with welcoming gathering spaces, and, recently, a new apartment redevelopment project was completed on a primary corner – which will welcome 100+ new residents who will live and shop in the area. To support the ongoing vitality of our downtown area and to ensure that our downtown continues to be a welcoming environment for residents and visitors alike – we understand the importance of clear, cohesive, and visually appealing signage. Recently, a Wayfinding Plan was commissioned and completed, specifically evaluating signage enhancements that will encourage residents and visitors to shop local and make existing amenities, events, and attractions more prominent and well-known. We believe implementation of the Downtown Identifier sign will be a big step forward. The addition of strategically placed and thoughtfully designed signage will make it easier for people to explore and engage with local businesses, attractions, and community organizations, ultimately increasing visibility and participation, while fostering stronger connections within the downtown area. This initiative aligns closely with our vision of being *BOLD* in pursuing opportunities and investments that support quality and sustainable growth, a vibrant and resilient economy, and a complete and connected community. We are committed to supporting the phased implementation of the entire Wayfinding Plan, recognizing that the Downtown Identifiers are an impactful first step. We will actively seek out creative ways to finance the implementation – leveraging all financial contributions, volunteer efforts, and awareness. We look forward to seeing the impact that the signage will have on our city. Thank you for considering our support as part of this important effort – and for considering the request for a Hometown Grant.

With current and future growth branching outwards from its downtown core, the city is experiencing a need to reconnect its residential neighborhoods to the north with the businesses, services, and local attractions available within its historic downtown area. Farmington touts a well-connected and established park, trail, and major roadways system and is strategically seeking solutions to better inform residents of what is already available to them within city limits, encourage them to shop local, and make existing amenities, events, and attractions more prominent and well-known. PLAN & PROCESS WHY IS WAYFINDING IMPORTANT? A thoughtful wayfinding system helps to create a strong sense of place, identity, and experience within a city. As cities grow in size, placemaking become exceedingly important not only for potential visitors, but locals as well. Placemaking creates a distinct and memorable experience, helping to establish the character and charm that encourages people to live, work, play, and visit within its boundaries. Wayfinding signage contributes to the art of placemaking by enhancing the city’s brand identity each time you enter a new public realm, making destinations easily accessible, and helping to connect parks, trails, and civic destinations for all modes of travel. PLAN GOALS IMPLEMENTATION: The plan looks at the cost to build and place signs, as well as a potential phasing plan COMPLEMENT THE REBRAND: The sign family concepts explored in this document strive to showcase the city’s new aesthetic direction and enhance placemaking opportunities each time a resident or visitor enters a new layer of the public realm. FOCUS ON DIRECTING RESIDENTS AND VISITORS TO DOWNTOWN: A key need for new wayfinding came from a desire to direct more residents and visitors to the city’s downtown core and civic destinations. The hierarchy creates a seamless experience from point A to B - welcoming visitors as they enter the city, directing vehicle traffic to downtown destinations or parks and trails, providing maps to navigate within areas, and helping them locate parking options while they are there. SIGN PLACEMENT AND USE: Thoughtful design of signs that perform multiple functions helps to prevent sign pollution, maintains message and brand consistency, and clearly directs users to points of interest within the system. ACCESSIBILITY AND DURABILITY: A key component of placemaking is making sure that everyone feels welcome in a space. The wayfinding design featured in this document was designed with user accessibility in mind, and material considerations that are both cost-effective and durable for longevity and everyday use. FARMINGTON’S VISION STATEMENT “In the City of Farmington, people and neighborhoods are valued, natural resources are treasured, and business and traditions are celebrated. We are bold in pursuing opportunities and investments that support quality and sustainable growth, a vibrant and resilient economy and a complete and connected community.” Page 66 of 93 5 PROPOSED SIGN LOCATIONS EXISTING WAYFINDING EXISTING SIGNS AND TYPES The City of Farmington has a number of sign types both within the downtown area and around other parts of the city, including parks and trails, that exist today. Below are a handful of existing sign types, from maps to monuments, small directional signs, and examples of downtown identifiers in the form of light pole banners. Future opportunities to provide aesthetic consistency with the proposed sign families will further enhance placemaking and branding for the city.

These guidelines may change from location to location, but provide baseline rules to follow when deciding where a sign should be placed, how it should fit near a road or walkway, and how it should be landscaped/enhanced for best effect and use. These guidelines will vary per location/sign type. SIGN PLACEMENT GUIDELINES MONUMENT SIGN PLACEMENT AND DETAILS The monument sign welcomes vehicles and pedestrians into the City of Farmington. It’s important to make sure that the sign is easily visible to oncoming traffic, placed in a well-maintained area, and never covered by tall grasses, shrubs, or forbs (low vegetation should be selected for the front of the sign). Solar lighting that shines a spotlight in the evening will need maintenance to make sure panel is clean and light is functioning as intended. See section below for further placement details: Sign is facing oncoming traffic perpendicular to the roadway Avoid placement behind trees, the use of tall grasses and shrubs in front of sign, plant only low-growing ground covers and perennials and mow or remove tall vegetation within a 15’ radius from center of the sign *Actual distance from road may vary Ensure sign is visible within 200 feet on front side Place sign on level or high ground with good drainage adjacent to the roadway, not within a ravine or roadside ditch Place sign at least 15’ from road pavement edge, do not exceed 20’ from road edge Ensure positive drainage away from sign base Page 76 of 93 15 PROPOSED SIGN LOCATIONS Driving Lane ShoulderTurn Lane Grass SidewalkCurb Sign Placement DOWNTOWN IDENTIFIER PLACEMENT AND DETAILS The downtown identifier helps to signal key entry points to the downtown district.

See the table at bottom of page for planned signs and high-level cost estimates. Signs that will intersect with and contribute to regional trail corridors, such as the Vermillion River Regional Greenway, may be an opportunity for a future partnership with Dakota County, in order to fulfill desired wayfinding and information that is planned by the county. Future sign development may be paid for through a combination of city funding and grant funding.

The cost per sign for each vendor was deduced from the vendor-supplied quantities and is an estimate for high-level comparison. This table looks only at single item cost and install prices per unit, and may not accurately represent quantity discounts and other factors given by the vendors. Table 2. Overall Cost Comparison Table Page 83 of 93 22 WAYFINDING PLAN | CITY OF FARMINGTON, MN PROJECT PRIORITIZATION Due to high cost and the time it can often take to secure funding, phasing the project by placing the most visible and highest priority signage first is recommended. Vehicle directional signs, monument signs, and downtown identifiers are valuable for establishing a sense of place, boosting city branding, identifying important entry points, and accomplishing the overall goal of leading visitors to the downtown area. Therefore, these sign types should be considered as a part of near-term planning. Urban kiosks, Park Kiosks, and singular parking signs will require additional planning to prepare existing spaces for placement (new concrete, plantings, possible electricity for kiosks, etc.) and would be consider secondary signage as a part of the long-term plan. SIGN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE After the new signs are installed, periodic maintenance and operations practices will need to be planned. Some considerations will include: • Snow and Ice removal • Maintaining surrounding landscaping to keep signs visible, legible, and attractive • Power-washing poles and panels to keep free of grime and debris/damage from salt • Replacing panels and/or cabinets with time if sun-fade, vandalism, or damage occurs • Routine maintenance on any lighting and electrical (if opted for in the designs) to make sure signs are functioning well and to help prevent signs from being vandalized (eyes on the street) PRIORITIZATION LEVEL/ TIMELINE SIGN TYPE NOTES NEAR TERM Monument Signs Downtown Identifiers Vehicle Directional Sign A number of existing monument signs will need to be removed before placing new designs. These three sign types currently do not include internal or external lighting consideration, but the options could be explored and would require additional site prep for placement. LONG TERM Urban Kiosks Park Kiosks Singular Parking Signs Urban and Park Kiosk placements may likely require additional site preparation (new concrete walkways, landscaping, electrical hookups). Singular parking signs may require demolition of existing hardscape for placement in some areas. Table 3. Project Prioritization Table Page 84 of 93 23 PROPOSED SIGN LOCATIONS ADDITIONAL AMENITIES The following amenities could be used to further enhance Farmington’s sense of place and compliment the proposed wayfinding signage in many areas throughout the city. This inspirational imagery has been chosen to reflect Farmington’s bold, modern brand and weave its distinct features throughout the public realm. TRASH AND RECYCLING Receptacles for trash and recycling are often located at trailheads, in parks, along trails, and in the downtown area. DOG WASTE STATIONS Dog waste stations will encourage and assist pet owners to be responsible and clean up after their pet along trails, in parks, and in the downtown. RESTROOMS Restrooms are often located at trailheads and at places along trails where they already exist. A bold and modern style would complement the Park and Trail kiosk well. BIKE REPAIR STATION Bike repair stations will include standard tools for making minor repairs to bicycles, as well as a bike pump for filling tires. Stations would be great along trails and in public parks. BIKE RACKS Bike racks are often provided in places where trail users may want to park their bikes and walk to a local destination or take a break along a trail. These places include urban areas with retail and food vendors, trailheads, parks, schools, and other destinations. BENCHES/TABLES Benches and tables will typically be located along trails and in public parks or outside of downtown shops, providing space to rest during long walks or bike rides. Especially important for user groups including seniors, young families, and those with disabilities. DRINKING FOUNTAIN/ BOTTLE REFILL In order to encourage reusable water bottles, drinking fountains and bottle refills could be available at trailheads and outside of civic destinations. APPENDIX Page 85 of 93 24 WAYFINDING PLAN | CITY OF FARMINGTON, MN WAYFINDING PLAN CITY OF FARMINGTON, MINNESOTA October 2024 Page 86 of 93 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AGENDA MEMO To: Economic Development Authority From: Stephanie Aman, Economic Development Coordinator Department: EDA Subject: Building a Stronger Future Together: Farmington Business Summit Meeting: Economic Development Authority - Jan 21 2025 INTRODUCTION: In 2024, Staff worked to meet with businesses to better understand what was going well for them and what could use improvement. From an economic development standpoint, we heard from several businesses that one main struggle is training for their employees. As part of our business retention and expansion efforts, it is imperative that we continue to seek information and guidance from our business community to better understand and, if able, address their needs through tools and resources. DISCUSSION: Developing a working relationship with the local community colleges, Inver Hills Community College and Dakota County Technical College, was a goal that Staff has had since arriving in Farmington two years ago. What Staff found in conversation with the colleges is that they have robust programming that might be considered - unexpected offerings. After a brainstorming session, City Staff and college staff worked on an action plan to better understand and address Farmington Business needs. There are two branches to the approach: First is a business survey - the collaboratively written survey is being sent and administered by Inver Hills Community College. The collection period will run until February 10, 2025. The second piece of the approach is a new event - the Farmington Business Summit. Building on the success of the Small Business Resource Fair last summer, and with this new partnership with the colleges, we jointly built an event that will showcase the community colleges and their offerings and attempt to address some of the concerns staff have heard from businesses. Some of those college offerings include job training, upskilling, management training, as well as business trending topics including AI. They have something to offer businesses from 1-1000 people! We have also invited economic development partners from DEED and MCCD to be present to share how they fit into this puzzle with the colleges and City and answer any questions from attendees. Page 87 of 93 The Summit is being held on February 4, 2025 beginning at 3 pm at The Community Room in downtown Farmington. Registration is required. The agenda is as follows:  3:00 pm - 3:15 pm: Welcome, check in and refreshments  3:15 pm - 3:30 pm: Introduction and overview of economic development initiatives  3:30 pm - 4:15 pm: Introduction of and presentation by DCTC/Inver Hills staff on workforce training and future offerings for our business community  4:15 pm - 4:30 pm: Introduction of DEED and MCCD staff and offerings  4:30 pm - 4:45 pm: Discussion of next steps  4:45 pm - 5:00 pm: Open forum, additional networking time, and surveys Post survey and Summit, Staff and the colleges will gather and review the data collected and determine the best actionable steps based on the feedback received. BUDGET IMPACT: Approximately $300 for space rental and snacks ACTION REQUESTED: No action required. Page 88 of 93 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AGENDA MEMO To: Economic Development Authority From: Deanna Kuennen, Community & Economic Development Director Department: EDA Subject: Director's Report Meeting: Economic Development Authority - Jan 21 2025 INTRODUCTION: Attached please find a summary of recent economic development activities. DISCUSSION: Attached please find a summary of recent economic development activities. Staff will be available to answer questions. ACTION REQUESTED: No action requested. This item is informational and is provided to communicate how the EDA time and money resources are allocated, and to track and measure the impact of initiatives. ATTACHMENTS: 01-2025 Director's Report Page 89 of 93 Reporting Period: Jan. 2025 DIRECTOR’S REPORT – providing project highlights and a summary of economic development activity. Projects & Initiatives • Rye Apartments Development The groundbreaking ceremony took place on Nov. 19th, 2024. Construction is progressing nicely, and the project is on track to open in Fall 2025. Follow along: https://youtu.be/b5M_hJyF-7o • Farmington Business Survey Staff has partnered with Dakota County Technical College/Inver Hills Community College leadership to develop a Farmington Business Survey. The survey is being sent to all businesses, seeking input on their needs and plans so that programming can be developed and/or partner resources can be identified to support our business community. The survey is being launched/sent at the end of January. • Building a Stronger Future Together: Farmington Business Summit The first Farmington Business Summit is planned for February 4, 2025. The event is a continuation of the collaboration between the city and Dakota County Technical College/Inver Hills. Businesses are invited to hear more about resources and opportunities available to them to support their workforce development needs. The idea is that this event provides an opportunity for our business and industry leaders to gather, listen, share, and learn. Future summits are being planned to include topics such as “AI in Business.” Page 90 of 93 • MREJ Staff attended the Apartment Summit in early January. This is one of the largest MREJ events with over 750 attendees. Multiple introductions and connections were made, with multi-family apartment developers and builders, but also with commercial developers. Staff is currently following up with various contacts and scheduling visits/meetings. The 2025 events are underway. The EDA included dedicated funding in the 2025 budget to continue the marketing partnership. Staff will attend multiple events throughout the year, sponsor (table) at events, and moderate and/or speak at the Land Development Conference, Women in Real Estate, Industrial Development Summit, and at least one other event. In addition – there will be opportunities to collaborate on articles that will be featured in the RE Journal publication. • EDAM Winter Conference – “Driving Economic Growth through Authentic Storytelling” Stephanie Aman submitted a session proposal for the EDAM Winter Conference, and it was selected. The session will include the Farmington Team, Cory Hepola, and Alan Davis – sharing how Farmington has stepped outside the box, in bold and creative ways, to tell our story. We will share what we have done and the initial results of these efforts. • BRE Staff has actively been reaching out to schedule and conduct business visits based on the BRE Plan discussed at the May2024 meeting. Responses have been slow, but visits are getting scheduled and Staff hopes that the Business Survey and Farmington Business Summit kick start these efforts. Prospects • Staff worked on more than 40 different proposed/potential projects in 2023. Some leads and conversations are still ongoing – and Staff continues to engage with many different business prospects, developers, and project Page 91 of 93 teams – with the goal of converting the prospecting into actual projects and keeping Farmington top of mind for these connections. • The 2024 summary is being prepared. Staff continues to work on various potential projects and have conducted numerous meetings with developers and site selectors – averaging 8 meetings with different groups each month earlier mid-year. Staff uses the developer/site selector meetings to share the Farmington story, discuss opportunities, and identify partners who are in alignment with the City’s vision and can assist the City in bringing projects forward. • Community Venture Network (CVN) Staff attended the January Community Venture Network event. Multiple businesses presented, and Staff spoke with one contract manufacturing company seeking to expand and construct a 50,000-100,000 SF facility. Farmington does not fit their target investment location for 2026, but they are interested future conversations. In addition, Staff learned of new resources available to businesses and will be sharing this resource/opportunity (succession planning, etc.) with our business community. The 2025 EDA budget includes continuing the CVN membership which will allow attendance at all 2025 events. • Request For Information (RFIs) Staff received a follow up RFI from DEED for Project Bamboo. The project was seeking 50+ acres of land with rail access. No response was submitted due to lack of available land. Other • MidAmerica Economic Development Council (MADCE) Staff has been appointed to the MidAmerica Economic Development Council to represent Minnesota. Staff attended the December MidAmerica Economic Development Council Conference and is now on the conference planning committee working to build out the agenda and speakers for the May 2025 MAEDC Conference that will be held in Stillwater. • Grocery Initiative Through a connection made at the October CVN meeting, Staff has worked with KState to determine if resources could be available to the City to conduct a market study or aid in bringing a grocery store to the City of Farmington. From these conversations, connections were revitalized with a grocery expert who works with cooperatives and independent retailers and staff are scheduled to meet with them in November. Additionally, staff brought forward a proposal to the EDA to engage in a market study to determine the feasibility of a grocery store in Farmington. The EDA requested additional information, and that information is being gathered. Staff will be building out a “public facing” component to the grocery recruitment efforts. This will likely involve community surveys, a page on the Page 92 of 93 website with market information, etc. utilizing insights from the KState Rural Grocery Initiative. Staff continues to have conversations and meeting with grocers and grocery developers. • Partner Meetings Staff continue to stay connected and engaged with the Minnesota Trade Office, DEED, Greater MSP, and other organizations. Staff is working with GreaterMSP to enhance alignment and increase interaction/engagement. • Economic Development Website Over the next few months, Staff will be focusing on updating the economic development content on the city’s website. The purpose will be to make information easily accessible and build out content which is known to be important to site selectors and business representatives. Page 93 of 93
