Fitzthum also expects new developments in the Health Care Plaza.  He says developer, Adventure properties purchased 24 acres across Highway 15 from Sam's Club and is expected to put up 6-7 office buildings on the site.  Fitzthum says that land is currently being prepped for development.  He says professional, healthcare centric businesses are likely to go into these new office buildings.

The Sartell City Council recently put out for bid to build the trail system on the old paper mill site.  Fitzthum says this would be considered phase 1 of the process.  He says the city would like to get some trails built in 2024.  Fitzthum indicates these would be paved bike path trails for bikes and pedestrians.  He explains 2024 and into 2025 will be big marketing and planning years for the Mill District.
