The property is <br />currently vacant. The project will include affordable housing. The developer is requesting <br />assistance from the EDA, Ramsey County, and Minnesota Management & Budget (MMB). <br /> <br />The intent of this Work Session item is to discuss the Planning Applications. Specifically, any <br />questions the Council has about the project that can be answered prior to the November 28th <br />Public Hearing, to avoid the Council tabling action due to lack of information provided. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />The City Council reviewed a concept plan1 at its August 1st Work Session, providing a <br />consensus to the developer to proceed with an application. Applications were submitted in <br />October.
