Finance and Commerce has a good story on how the the request for proposal process will operate. I have available a PDF hereDownload 05.16.08 Ford readies RFP for St Paul site.pdf
In the article, Burl Gilyard reports:
The Ford Motor Co. plant in St. Paul is not slated to close until the fall of 2009. Environmental analysis of the site is not expected to be done until sometime in 2010. The city of St. Paul won’t have a development framework until after the environmental review is complete.
But even with a host of large, lingering unknowns remaining on the redevelopment site, Ford is preparing to issue an RFP (request for proposals) to would-be developers for the 138-acre site.
“It would be considered a purchase option, which basically gives us a little bit more flexibility,” said Stefanie Denby, a spokeswoman with Ford Land, the real estate arm of Detroit-based Ford Motor Co.
Here's an interesting look at the plant! http://www.actionsquad.org/fordII1html.com
