Economic Development Authority (EDA)
The Long Lake Economic Development Authority acts as a coordinating body for economic financing matters for the City of Long Lake.  The EDA is in existence not only to help promote new businesses within the City, but to also help retain and redevelop City businesses already in existence.  The main goal of the Long Lake EDA is to assist in increasing the amounts and types of services offered within the City, to help restore blighted properties and downtown historic buildings by encouraging redevelopment activities, and to achieve development on sites which would not be feasible to develop without public assistance.  One of the main forms of assistance utilized by the EDA is Tax Increment Financing.  This financing tool allows the City to provide financial assistance to a qualifying business by capturing the increase in taxes on a property because of the development or redevelopment activity, and utilize these funds to help the business defray costs.

While the Long Lake EDA is technically a separate Board from the City Council, the EDA's power is derived by the authority that the Council bestows upon it.  The EDA Board's membership consists of seven members appointed annually.  Four of these are City Council members, two are members of the Planning Commission, and one member position is held by a resident of Long Lake.

For additional information relative to the role of the Long Lake EDA or if interested in appearing before the Board with an application for consideration, please contact City Administrator Terrance Post (EDA Executive Director) at 952.473.6961.
