The $60 million mixed use development has three unsold lots.
It's been seven years since the opening of the $60 million Village at Mendota Heights. Though retail is thriving and the senior housing complex boasts a waiting list, some condos and townhouses still have not sold, and it's seeming unlikely that more townhouses will be built as initially planned on the village's three empty lots. The city of Mendota Heights is taking it's time in deciding how to deal with the vacancies, discussing a small medical office building or a family style restaurant, according to the Star Tribune. "We're under no pressure to sell," Mayor Sandra Krebsbach told the paper. The Star Tribune has more on the possibilities for the site. Fefercorn's development agreement allowing his firm to buy the lots from the city has …

A presentation to the city council Tuesday outlined options on the table and a tight deadline to pull it off this year.
Plans for a farmers market in Mendota Heights are taking shape, and planners are still eyeing a September start date. A steering committee of six has been researching when a farmers market could be held, when it could start yet this year, its location within The Village, and how to deal with the logistics and liability of vendors and shoppers converging weekly to buy and sell fresh produce and other products. “Nothing’s been set in stone, no firm decisions have been made,” said organizer Ann Ulrich at Tuesday night’s Mendota Heights City Council meeting. Ulrich is also a co-owner of Mendoberri Café and Wine Bar in The Village. The committee is considering a weekly market on Thursdays or Fridays, scheduled to bridge both afternoon and …

Mendoberri co-owner is rallying support for market at the Village.
Growing season in Minnesota means farmers markets full of fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers. Mendoberri Café and Wine Bar co-owner Ann Ulrich wants Mendota Heights to bring a market to its own backyard. Ulrich planted the seed in Mendota Heights city councilmembers’ minds at the May 3rd meeting. During public comments, Ulrich, who owns Mendoberri with her husband Robert, presented an introductory outline of her vision to bring a market to The Village. “Right now it’s just an idea,” Ulrich said before the meeting, “... There is already a buzz about it, so I want to clarify what my next steps would be to make it a reality.” Ulrich has put some thought into the plan and its advantages. “Ideally, we’d have 15-20 farmers and other vendors…
