He said it he would keep the Council informed about the proposal. <br />He stated it is a good idea for the City to have a position regarding the development. <br />Director Ericson stated there have been a lot of questions about the Harsted Townhome project. <br />He stated the 66 units may not be constructed in two years and there are no provisions requiring <br />the completion in a certain time frame.
