Workman <br /> Mayor Dennis Probst <br /> Arden Hills City Hall <br /> 1450 West Highway 96 <br /> Arden Hills, l'vfN, 55112 <br /> Dear Mayor Probst: <br /> The Session of our church, which is the governing body of our church, has asked me to send this <br /> letter to you (as well as to Congressman Bruce Vento) regarding our concern about the planning <br /> ~ underway for the future land use of the Federal Arsenal property in Arden Hills. We applaud you for <br /> your efforts to look ahead in this matter. We think there is a strong need to provide for a significant <br /> quantity of much-needed low and moderate income housing in that planning, <br /> The people of our Twin Cities community, with the people all over our country, are suffering <br /> from major societal problems which seem to be increasingly devastating to more and more of our <br /> people. There are many elements to these problems, but housing is a key, We know that there is not <br /> enough housing of reasonable quality in our metropolitan area that is available to the many people <br /> who must live on a low or even moderate income, Furthermore, the existing housing supply that <br /> these people can afford is overly-concentrated in l\Ilinneapolis and St. Paul, and often far from the <br /> employment opportunities available, Suburban business itself is aware of this problem because they <br /> often have difficulty hiring sufficient workers at their work locations. <br /> I Planning the future land use for a federal arsenal presents a rare opportunity to do something on <br /> a significant scale to meet real human needs. We ask that you bend every effort to this end! <br /> I Sincerely, <br /> Z:a~ a-- <br /> I <br /> Rev, Eugene Orr <br /> Moderator of Session <br /> I.
