On Monday, February 29
the planning and design team made a series of presentations to the public at
the Nolan Center. The presentations evaluated the existing site, identified
opportunities, presented findings from the preliminary Wrangell housing needs
assessment and discussed types of housing and development that might be
appropriate for the Institute Property.
A summary of the presentations, and preliminary housing
needs assessment can be found under 'Related Documents' to the right.
Based on the
presentations, the community provided their input on needs and priorities for
the community and those that would be best provided at the Institute Property.
A summary is shown below.
The overwhelming
direction was to create a mixed use development neighborhood, with a focus on a
variety of housing types (including single family, medium density, and
cottage). The neighborhood should be supported by small retail and commercial
development, a community center and linked to existing and new recreation
opportunities. There is also a strong desire to create an assisted living and
senior housing development, explore opportunities for an educational facility,
and support/expand the community's economy.
