On Thursday, March 26, 2026, we held a resident meeting to discuss the upcoming redevelopment project and provide updates to the community. We were joined by approximately 50 residents who attended to hear the latest information, ask questions, and engage directly with our team. We appreciate the strong turnout and the thoughtful questions and feedback that were shared during the meeting.
We understand that not everyone was able to attend, and we want to ensure all residents have access to the information that was presented. If you missed the meeting, do not worry — there will be many more meetings and opportunities for updates and discussion as the project moves forward.
