The Northfield Economic Development Authority is hosting three meetings in its Public Input Process on the Riverfront Redevelopment project. One was held on November 29 at the Northfield Community Resource Center. Yesterdays edition of the Northfield News has a piece on that meeting.

The next meeting will be Wednesday, December 8 at the Grand Event Center beginning at 7:30 a.m. John Shardlow of the firm Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban will present a program outlining the City Councils priorities for the site and then will open the meeting up to questions.

We urge you to attend this meeting in lieu of the usual NDDC monthly meeting in December. We felt this topic was timely and significant enough to not schedule a competing event in the same week. Our monthly meeting schedule will resume on Tuesday, January 4, 2005.

If you cant attend the Wednesday EDA Open House, there will be one more opportunity on December 9 at Emmaus Church (712 North Linden) beginning at 7:00 p.m.
