Burnsville 'in great shape,' mayor says

In 2007, the city lowered crime rates and attracted 200 new businesses and now, forges ahead with redevelopment. Burnsville will once again push for state approval for tax-increment financing to continue major redevelopment, including in the northwest part of the city where an old quarry will eventually be turned into a lake, Mayor Elizabeth Kautz said Wednesday. In her annual "state of the city" speech, she also said the city has garnered 200 new businesses, seen its crime rate fall and scored high in a citizen-satisfaction survey.
