Prairie Avenue Townhome Development Density and Exceptions

A developer wants to build 39 townhomes on vacant lots at 36 and 40 Prairie Avenue, but residents and commissioners are pushing back against the high density and lack of affordable housing. Despite offers of $100,000 for nearby park improvements and green alley upgrades, the commission voted to recommend denying the project.
