Rice Creek Commons (TCAAP) Development Discussion Opportunity for Residents Mayor Grant stated that under the Public Hearing section, citizens have an opportunity to discuss ideas regarding the Rice Creek Commons (TCAAP) development. Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 7:37 p.m. Joseph Cox, 2 Peterson Place in North Oaks, explained that he is a potential home builder and investor in TCAAP. It was his understanding that the TCAAP property may be sold to a single developer. He requested that the City and County reconsider this line of thinking in order to allow a local investor to purchase land as this would put local contractors to work. Mayor Grant reviewed the Council's current planning timeline for TCAAP and anticipated that RFP's would be considered over the fall and winter by the JDA. He encouraged Mr. Cox to review the City's website to further view information on TCAAP.
