The JDA reviewed <br />a request by Alatus to extend the PDA. After discussion and consideration, <br />the PDA expired on June 30, 2025, with the parties having not reached any <br />final agreement. Alatus has since named the JDA in a lawsuit relating to the <br />Preliminary Development Agreement. The City of Arden Hills and Ramsey <br />County are not parties to the lawsuit. The JDA is unable to comment on <br />pending litigation. Per the scheduling order issued by the court, there is a <br />pre-trial/settlement conference scheduled on or after Nov. 29, 2026, with a <br />tentative trial set for February 2027. <br />The JDA remains committed to advancing this once-in-a-generation <br />development opportunity and to our shared vision of a sustainable <br />development that creates economic prosperity and much-needed housing.
