Greetings!
Change is in
the air as fall arrives. And speaking of changes, there are
some big changes occurring as the federal government passed
legislation that affects how financial advisory
services like Ehlers provides services to you and your
community.
Rest assured
that at Ehlers, we have been and continue to act in a fiduciary
responsibility to all of our clients, because we've always been
independent financial advisors.
As clients of
Ehlers, you will be receiving a letter from us within the next
week to further explain some of the changes we know about in
the near future. We'll also be posting a copy of the letter on
our website.
We're at the
beginning stages of a lengthy rule-changing process. Ehlers
will bring you updates as we keep actively involved
with the regulations and how it will impact the industry, like
the SEC approving new amendments to Rule
15c2-12, dealing with disclosures . The Ehlers Team
is committed to serving you and your community's best
interests. That will never change.

Rental Housing Project In The Northwest Quadrant
  Over the past
year, the City of New Brighton and Ehlers public
finance representatives have been meeting with developers
about potential development opportunities in the City's 100
acre redevelopment area known as the Northwest Quadrant.
In May and
June, City officials met with a half-dozen developers and
toured several sites around the metro area.
Stuart
Development Company emerged as the firm with the most
experience and most reasonable financial assumptions for a new
development. In mid-July the company presented a proposal for a
120 unit, market rate apartment building known as Waters
Edge.
