The former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant in Arden Hills is continuing its evolution towards development.

Ramsey County officials announced Monday the launch of a new, dedicated website for Rice Creek Commons, the new name of the development at the old Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant in Arden Hills.

The website will be a place to go for the most current information about the project, officials said.

Work is progressing at the site. Since the county bought the 427-acre site in April 2013, crews from Bolander & Sons have demolished the 44 buildings that once stood on the property and completed environmental cleanup on 60 percent of the site.

Ramsey County also is working with Arden Hills to complete a master plan for the development, as well as a long-term energy plan for the site.

Officials say the goal is a mixed-use development that includes housing, commercial, retail, light manufacturing and recreational uses.

The site is expected to be cleaned to residential standards by fall 2015.
