The Medina City Council approved a stage one vote this week to build a 26-unit affordable housing townhome development on a 3.8-acre site north of Highway 55 on Clydesdale Trail about 20 miles west of Minneapolis.
The plan received unanimous support from the city's Planning Commission when first proposed earlier this year. The city's comprehensive plan calls for adding more than 500 affordable housing units to the city by 2020, and if approved these would be the first affordable rentals in the city.
The project is being proposed by Plymouth-based Dominium, which has developed and manages several thousand affordable housing units, including the Pillsbury A Lofts for artists across the Mississippi River from downtown Minneapolis.
What's next? A binding stage 2 vote will happen in December. Here's a link to documents submitted to the city.
