This application has been withdrawn. Learned at LUC that the property was purchased from under them with a full cash offer. When they went to approach neighboring properties to show their plans, learned that someone had already been spreading rumors of 'sex offender' housing coming to n'hood. Sounds like it was a deliberate attempt to block the project. It's disappointing, this would have been a nice project and a higher/ better use of the property.

A project here is back on the table, with different developers. Will be presented at the UPDC Land-use meeting this coming Monday Dec 21. Aims to be affordable. no retail or commercial space.

Marshall from Snelling to Hamline is such a sad sight. I hope this helps because it probably can't make it any worse.

It is a rather forlorn stretch of light industrial. I'm hopeful this will inject more life into that area.
