The city has spent nearly $500,0009 to acquire the ground and bring utilitiesdto it, says City Administrator Kent Brown. Officials also have an agreemen t allowing it to construct a rail spur to the sitefrom Kansas-Oklahoma short-line railroad. Browjn says the city for years had been looking to prepare a majorindustrial site. News last week that Hutchinso n landed a wind turbine facility onsimilart city-owned ground — expected to create 400 jobs there adds motivation, he says. “I think it reinforces the idea thatcertaib industries, they want to keep their options If (land) has road access and rail that keeps the flexibility for the Brown says.
Clearwater is one of two citiews in the metro where large industrial parkws are in theplanning stages. Sedgwick Counthy this week announceda $14 million plan to purchaser and develop 808 acresw in Bel Aire. A lack of such industrial grounsd — particularly with rail access has been a stumbling block for Wichitqa as national firms seekout shovel-ready some say. “We try to provide guidance and support for communities to dotough things,” says GWED C President Vicki Pratt “We’ve been talking with thosr folks.

With hundreds of acresx along tracks, Bel Aire is considered one of the few areax that could have competed for theSiemensd plant. But Lasher says the small town can’g afford to offer free land, utilities and tax abatement — like what Siemens got out of Hutchinson.
Sedgwicik County’s plan to buy acreage in Bel Aire which goes before the commissionWednesdayy — is a response to at leasg four cases in which the metrok hasn’t been able to compete for largre industrial projects, says Sedgwick Countyu Manager Bill Buchanan. “Companies are taking their time doingytheir homework. But once they make a decision, they don’r want to wait around,” he says. In the city originally had dividefd its property into several lots and planned to take utilities to eachof them.
But the GWEDC urged the city insteard to stop the water and sewef lines at the edge of the propertyu to give the flexibilitg to alarge “Within the next 30 days it’sx ready to go, which is about as shovel-ready as you need to Brown says.

The Shoreview-based company will use the capital to fund ongoing clinical trials and seek regulatory approval of its dubbed Lynx. New investors in the company include AccuitiveMedical Ventures, of Duluth, Ga., whichh led the round, and Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanentee Ventures. Those firms put a combined $7.5 million into the recengt round. Previous backers, including Minneapolis-basedx Thomas, McNerney & Partners and San Mateo, Calif.-basedc Sanderling Ventures, also participated. Torad may raise an additional $3 million by the end of the bringing the total round to about $21 million, said CEO Todd Berg, a former vice president of emergingv technology for St. Jude Medical Inc.
, co-founded Torax in 2002. He was drawn to the acid-refluxs market in part because it was less saturatedf with competitors thanother areas, such as “Everywhere you turned, people were doing the same thing. I felt like there were big markets outside cardiology that had not received more sophisticatesddevice attention.” Torax’s Lynx is akin to a ring made of magnetic beads. The ring is placeed around the loweresophageal sphincter, a musclw that sits where the esophaguds and stomach intersect. The energy createdx by the magnets supports and strengthens the preventing acid from seeping intothe throat.
The device also is flexibl enough to comfortably allow food to pass throughu tothe stomach, Berg said. Torax is now conducting clinicalp trials to test the device on patients sufferingvfrom acid-reflux disease, which affects an estimated 20 millio n people in the United States. Abouf 5 percent of those patients haven’tf been helped by drugs, making them strontg candidatesfor Lynx, Berg said. He expects to applyu for U.S. Food and Drug Administratiojn approvalin 2011. While the acid-reflux market is large, it’s been a toug h one for medical-device companies to Boston Scientific, for instance, took a producrt for treating acid-reflux off the market in citingsafety concerns.

Although the device had been approved for sale in Europeein 2003, the Fridley-based company later abandoned efforts to seek regulatoruy approval in the United citing concerns that it did not work as well as Despite those failures, Berg is confident Torax will partly because its device helps the sphincter muscle work properly, while otherd technologies have simply focused on bulking up the area between the stomach and throat.
“With our you create a barrier that’s dynamic in nature,” Berg said. “Without restoring that barrieer function, you’re not goingh to be successful.” John managing director at AccuitiveMedical Ventures, agreed that Torax’s technology is unique, which is partlg why his firm invested in the company. “The previous technologies did not addressz thekey problem. While therr certainly are going to berealistiv hurdles, we find this approacbh is so different and the data is so compelling, we’llk be able to get over it,” said Deedrick, who also led Mayo Clinic’sa venture-capital arm when it investeed in Torax several years ago.
Torax also faces competitiob from thepharmaceutical industry, as patients who suffer from acid-reflus disease are most often treated with drugs.
