    Community Engagement in the City of Ramsey: An Experiential Assessment of Three Engagement Formats
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2018) Campbell, Myles; Jordan, Natela; Hofer, T.J.
    This project was completed as part of the 2017-2018 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Ramsey. The City of Ramsey sought to improve its communication and engagement efforts with stakeholders (residents, business owners, and commuters). Students in Dr. Dan Milz’s Planning and Public Policy capstone analyzed the City's existing engagement plan, developed and field-tested communication and engagement tools in conjunction with proposed changes to Highway 10 and ongoing redevelopment planning for The COR downtown area, and offered recommendations for future engagement efforts. A final report and poster are available.

    The Road to Prosperity: Engaging Ramsey for a Better Highway 10
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2017) Hartle, Ashley; Hofer, T.J.; Polacek, Joe; Schmeling, Alyssa; Valenti, Alicia; Wade, Michael
    This project was completed as part of the 2017-2018 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Ramsey. Ramsey is bisected by U.S. Highway 10, which is slated for significant upgrades in the next 20 years to convert the corridor to a limited-access highway. However, the uncertain timing of future Highway 10 improvements makes it difficult for landowners along the corridor to invest in or sell their property. The City wanted to clarify the future vision for the corridor and the timing of planned improvements, and sought assistance designing an outreach and engagement process to connect with stakeholders affected by the plan and future improvements. Students in Dr. Dan Milz’s Planning and Participation Processes class identified strategies to productively engage with the main groups of stakeholders concerned about the future of Highway 10: business owners, residents, and commuters. A final report and poster are available.
