Coon Rapids Development Group President Nathan Muench opened the meeting with an overview of the development planning that started with a community visioning meeting in February 2017. He reviewed the goals that came from that meeting and the progress leading up to this Town Hall Meeting. Due to a technical error, the first 10 minutes of the meeting did not properly record so Muench’s speech is not available.
