New Ulm Economic Development Authority Approves Site Plan Change for North Broadway Lots
- Meeting Overview:
The New Ulm Economic Development Authority (EDA) convened to address several topics, notably approving a revised site plan for the North Broadway lots, transitioning from a mixed-use to a purely commercial development. The change stems from the building’s revised configuration, which accommodates three commercial spaces but lacks parking for residential units. The modification required approval due to deed restrictions mandating housing or mixed-use development, which will now be amended by the city attorney.
Additionally, the EDA discussed the non-renewal of the Section 8 contract by Sunset Apartments, mirroring a previous situation with Linderhoff Park Apartments. An application for 21 additional enhanced vouchers has been submitted to facilitate the transition of the six affected tenants, potentially increasing the program from 127 to 204 vouchers.
The meeting also covered the maintenance activities at Broadway House, where preventative measures included replacing essential components in the hot water system to avoid emergency repairs. The Section 8 Management Assessment Program report was highlighted, with expectations of maintaining a high performer rating from HUD. Furthermore, the EDA reviewed the economic development activity report, noting progress on a strategic plan with Better City and the issuance of cannabis licenses, which are awaiting council approval.
