City of Arden Hills <br />TCAAP Redevelopment Communication Plan Executive Summary & <br />Recommendations <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Situation Assessment <br /> <br />The redevelopment of the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) site in <br />Arden Hills presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to manage the reuse of <br />nearly 30 percent of the geographic area of the city and prepare the City of <br />Arden Hills for a sustainable future. <br /> <br />Along with this opportunity comes a complex communications challenge. <br />Change will occur in the city as a result of the federal government’s decision to <br />sell the land. How the city leads and communicates about that change will play <br />a significant role in the degree to which citizens support and benefit from those <br />changes. <br /> <br />In the immediate future, the city is seeking funding from both the State of <br />Minnesota and the United States Government for infrastructure improvements <br />that will solve current local and regional traffic problems and improve public <br />safety in the vicinity of the redevelopment site. <br /> <br />At the same time and over the long term, the City will need to address a variety <br />of related and potentially volatile issues including: <br /> Managing growth and change <br /> Housing choice <br /> The ongoing master planning process <br /> Traffic management <br /> The impact of TCAAP redevelopment on the city’s comprehensive plan <br /> Relocation of existing homes and businesses for improved traffic safety <br /> Affordable housing on the site and within Arden Hills <br /> Public funding for redevelopment <br /> <br />Each of these issues requires that stakeholders understand the costs and benefits <br />that come from action and inaction toward the reuse of the TCAAP site. Central <br />to effective communications on each of these issues is a clear consistent <br />statement of the vision for the TCAAP site and costs and benefits of <br />redevelopment. <br /> <br />The success of the project depends to a significant degree on the ability of the <br />City of Arden Hills, its policy makers and its spokespeople to communicate <br />clearly, effectively and persuasively about the goals, objectives, and processes <br />surrounding the TCAAP redevelopment project.
