Hello All,
On behalf of developers James Garrett and Erick Goodlow and Jay Benanav, I'm writing to make you are aware of the groundbreaking tomorrow for James Griffin Garden Rowhouses, a new Housing 5000 project, at St. Anthony and Fry streets, just west of Snelling and north of I-94. The groundbreaking featuring Mayor Kelly will take place, tomorrow (Wednesday), at 1 p.m. on the site. The very brief groundbreaking ceremony will be immediately followed by a reception at Golden Thyme Coffee, 921 Selby Ave. This is the first project to be done through the HRA's Small Developer Program, designed to make it possible for homegrown, new and emerging developers and contractors to get involved in the city's major development efforts. It's especially meaningful that this project is dedicated to the memory of James Garrett's grandfather, Jim Griffin, St. Paul's first African American Deputy Police Chief, and long time member of the St. Paul School Board and unparalleled community activist. This is a very exciting project for Ward 4 because it incorporates green technology and energy efficiency design principles to in-town living. The business and residential community enthusiastically welcomes the project as part of the expanding Midway mixed use revitalization, creating exciting new housing opportunities along St. Paul's LRT line and in the midst of a developing retail, office and industrial corridor. Thanks to HRA staff Tom Sanchez, Readus Fletcher and Director Susan Kimberly for their leadership in bringing this project to fruition. Congratulations to PED on this great project. Hope you can make it! Jane Prince, Legislative Aide, 651/266-8641 _____________________________________________ To Join: St. Paul Issues Forum Rules Discussion Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________________________________ NEW ADDRESS FOR LIST: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, modify subscription, or get your password - visit: http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/listinfo/stpaul Archive Address: http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/private/stpaul/
