Authorization Granting Preliminary Prep of App. for HRAJanuary 15, 1981
To: Bill Craig, City Manager
From: Jim Kerrigan, Community Development Director
Subject: Possible locations for a public housing development
As I discussed with you earlier this week there are a number of possible
sites available in the City for locating a public housing development. The
following is a listing of some of those sites.
1. The northwest corner of 6th Street South and 7th Avenue South.
2. The northerly portion of the former Homedale Nursery site alo
Highway #7.
On a portion of the present City garage site
The southwest corner of llth Avenue and, First Street South (the homes
on this corner are very old and deteriorated).
On a portion of the Pines Mobile Home Court the units once completed
could be made available to those displaced by the new construction.
Basically what would be taking place is the replacement of substandard,
low and moderate income housing with safe quality new housing for low
families
6. The Berglund Johnson parcel in the southwest corner of the City.
7. The piece of property at the end of llth Avenue, south of.Westbrooke.
I talked to HUD about the possibility of Hopkins submitting an application
for some public housing units. They felt this would be a very positive move in
meeting our housing goals and encouraged us to proceed.
