As many of you know Sparc owns 3 acres of land that fronts the Willow Reserve in Saint Paul. In the past we planned to create market-rate and affordable townhomes on the site. With the recent housing climate we took a step back in 2008 and had community meetings about development ideas about the site in May of 2009. The feedback we received was that the community wanted to recapture and see green space at the site.
This past summer Elizabeth Turner, a graduate student in Architecture at the University of Minnesota, did a report looking at an urban eco-village model on the site that would include ample green space for residents and the larger community. This has evolved into the charrette we will be co-hosting with Greenlight this January and February. We really would like the feedback from all interested parties so please attend if you can. You can read the full report here and contact Matt with any questions.
