Highlights of the plan include:

    • Up to 1,700 units of housing, including one-for-one public housing replacement units, affordable rental units and market rate and affordable for-sale units.

    • 12.2 acres of a new and reconfigured street network potentially including “green” features including bioswales and landscaping.
    • Up to 16,200 square feet of neighborhood-serving retail.
