Hi Neighbors,
I want to update you all regarding the workforce/senior housing project on Huxley Street.
The project is moving forward and the developer is planning to submit the project submittals in October. I am planning to organize another neighborhood meeting in late October or early November with the developers present so they can bring neighbors up to speed and answer questions and concerns.
Some highlights of the project are: 61 senior housing units, 50 workforce multi-family units, 2,000 square feet of commercial space, 10% of the total 111 units will be market rate, solar panels on the roof, electric vehicle charging stations in the parking lot, no-cost internet services for residents, and a dedicated play area for children.
As your alder, it is my priority is to create equitable housing for our seniors and our working-class families. I believe this project will help the community, especially keeping the development of Oscar Mayer in mind. With the increase in density, the project will help local businesses. Once the project gets finalized, I will urge city engineering to review the traffic flow if the project secures Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) funding.
