City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, 2018 <br />5-1 <br />5. TWIN CITIES ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT (TCAAP) PROPERTY <br />REDEVELOPMENT <br /> <br />Goal: Develop TCAAP in a way that accommodates a mix of land uses that is sensitive <br />to the natural environment, economically sustainable, and a benefit to the community. <br /> <br />In 1941, the federal government started construction on the Twin Cities Army <br />Ammunition Plant (TCAAP), which occupied about 3.7 square miles (2,370 acres) in <br />what was then Mounds View Township (Figure 5.1). During a 16 month period, over <br />300 buildings were constructed to manufacture and test munitions for World War II. The <br />plant also produced munitions for the Korean conflict, Vietnam conflict, and the first Gulf <br />War. At its peak, the property had 40 miles of electric and telephone wire, 83 miles of <br />sewer, 37 miles of road and railroad track, and employed more than 25,000 people. <br /> <br />The entire TCAAP property was included in the Arden Hills municipal border when the <br />City incorporated in 1951, and now occupies approximately the northern third of Arden <br />Hills. The TCAAP property is bounded by Highway 96 on the south, Highways 10 and <br />35W on the west, Lexington Avenue on the east, and County Road I on the north. <br /> <br />5.1 TCAAP DECOMMISSIONING AND LAND TRANSFERS <br /> <br />Between 1974 and 1985, the federal government started decommissioning TCAAP. <br />While munitions production by private entities continued into the early 2000s, operations <br />were a fraction of peak production. Plans to transfer portions of the property and <br />redevelop it have been in the works since the 1980s. Redevelopment plans for the <br />former TCAAP property have continued to evolve and become more detailed: <br /> <br />Table 5.1 – TCAAP Land Reuse Proposals <br />1982 1998 2008 2016 <br />Residential 970 445 168 146 <br />Commercial/Industrial 500 222 182 198 <br />Parks and Other Open Space 805 252 168 24 <br />Institutional, Roads, & Other Public Use 95 215 65 53 <br />na na 113 221 <br />na 1,237 1,562 1,611 <br />na na 113 113 <br />2,370 2,370 2,371 2,371Redevelopment AreaRice Creek Trail Corridor <br />Parks Preserve/Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS)/US Army <br />Reserve <br />Other (MnDot, Ramsey County, Arden Hills) <br />Total <br />Acerage is approximate. <br />Much of the former TCAAP property has already been transferred or leased to other <br />public entities, including the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Ramsey County, Draft 04/04/2018
