Subject: Meaningful Affordable Housing Growth in Arden Hills
Dear Councilmember,
In the spirit of welcoming one and all to the Arden Hills community, I believe the expansion of affordable housing units at the Rice Creek Commons development should increase to the levels recommended by the Metropolitan Council and Ramsey County.
Meaningful Affordable Housing Growth will help attract and support local businesses.
Meaningful Affordable Housing Growth provides options for singles, families and seniors who currently cannot afford to live in Arden Hills.
Meaningful Affordable Housing Growth in Arden Hills cannot occur unless it is built into the development plans for the Rice Creek Commons project. Due to the maturity of Arden Hills, there is very little other available space for development.
Meaningful Affordable Housing Growth was a goal given to Arden Hills by the Metropolitan Council. The Arden Hills City Council has acknowledged and is aware of this goal.
I strongly urge the Arden Hills City Council to actively cooperate and work in good faith with Alatus, the project developer, and Ramsey County to substantially increase the levels of affordable housing planned for Rice Creek Commons.
Sincerely,
