Two properties are privately owned, <br />and two are owned by the State of Minnesota through tax forfeiture, and <br />managed by Ramsey County. If the project is approved, the County will sell the <br />land to the City, which will sell it to the Developer at-cost. If the project is not <br />approved, the County will retain control of the tax forfeit properties. <br /> <br />Q11: Will the apartments bring more crime into the neighborhood? <br />A11: This is speculative.
