This application proposal is consistent with the City ofRoseville Comprehensive <br />Plan and Policies. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration of this project for the Livable Communities Demonstration Account. <br />Roseville believes that the Twin Lakes project, a brownfield redevelopment, meets and exceeds the goals and <br />objectives of the Metropolitan Council to provide livable communities in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Region, <br />especially within the first ring developed suburbs. This project provides a master plan that will convert <br />underutilized truck terminals and industrial buildings into a full mix use development that includes multifamily <br />housing, offices, neighborhood and business services and a medical campus all linked with a system of <br />pathways and common greenspaces. <br /> <br />The challenges of brown field redevelopment for such a large area is beyond a level that Roseville, a community <br />of35,000 residents, can support financially on its own. However, the benefits, over 5,000 jobs and $300 million <br />in new investment, will be seen on a regional level. <br /> <br />We look forward to working with you on the implementation of the project and submitting a full application <br />later this summer. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />'~lWJ~ <br /> <br />Dennis Welsch (490-2241) <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />Q:\Grants\Livalbe Comm - 99 ApplIBarron summary letter 100 I 99.doc <br /> <br />2660 Civic Center Drive ..:.
