Request for Proposal - Aggregate Mine Property Valuation Study
ARM Issues Request for Proposals
Introduction
The process of permitting or expanding aggregate mines, particularly in the Twin Cities metro area has become challenging. One concern often expressed by local residents and elected officials is the perception that the proposed mine will negatively impact property values near the proposed or existing facility.
The goal of this project is to provide defensible data that quantifies the likely effect of aggregate mining (and specific ancillary land use) on nearby property values as well as the location and timing of those potential effects.
Problem Statement and Goal
The goal of the study is to provide a resource for decision makers and others to enhance understanding and draw attention to critical issues that ARM members need to be aware of during permitting/environmental review so that they can be better prepared to educate stakeholders and the public on this issue.
