<br />City of Arden Hills <br />TCAAP Redevelopment Communication Plan <br />Key Audiences, Tactic and Tools April, 2008 <br /> <br />The TCAAP site is the last large piece of land available in the City of Arden <br />Hills for the development of residential shopping and employment <br />opportunities. <br /> <br />Residential development on the TCAAP site will create a range of housing <br />opportunities that will allow people to live in Arden Hills at all stages of life: <br />as children, young professionals, adults with families and as seniors. <br /> <br />Development of the TCAAP site will open up more recreational space for <br />citizens of Arden Hills and the region. <br /> <br />The redevelopment of the TCAAP site is moving forward. <br />. Planning for redevelopment of the TCAAP site began more than 20 <br />years ago when the federal government announced the closure of <br />the ammunition plant. <br />. Through a competitive process, The City of Arden Hills selected <br />RRLD, LCC (Ryan Companies) as the city's development partner for <br />the project in 2002. <br />. Congress has created a special process- called early transfer- that <br />allows a developer to assume responsibility for environmental clean <br />up of the land and expedite the redevelopment process, <br />. The City of Arden Hills and the federal government came to a <br />purchase agreement for the 585 acre redevelopment site in <br />February 2007 and are currently negotiating the clean up of the <br />land. <br />. The City and RRLD are working on a master plan for the site to <br />define the land uses. <br />. Within the next year, the City expects to take possession of the land <br />and immediately sell it to the developer. <br />. The City is seeking legislative funding for transportation <br />improvements and expects those to be under construction in 2009. <br /> <br />~COMMUNlCATIONSI <br />.
