New Berlin Meeting Information

In an e-mail from Ron Malloy of Waukesha County Disabled Housing Concerned Citizens:

Hi,


There will be two meetings to discuss the proposed 162 apartment development in New Berlin City Center on March 1, 2010. See web links below. Agenda items specific to MSP are the New Berlin City Center proposed development. One of our self advocates will be speaking at the 6:00 PM meeting about the importance of those with disabilities being included. It is important those speaking in favor of housing for people with disabilities at the 6:00 PM meeting equals or exceeds those speaking
against it. Those speaking against the development out numbered those speaking for at the February 17th community meeting. This is a $20M development with $10M in Federal tax credits. Our tax dollars need to include housing for people with disabilities.

Many of the concerns that people have at those meetings are often mistaken and misguided but it can be hard to address those concerns with a limited time period to speak, so it's important that people show support for affordable housing.
