NEW BUSINESS
1. Central Community Housing Trust (CCHT)
a. Assistant City Manager Coleman introduced the staff from CCHT
b. Alan Arthur, President, Central Community Housing Trust, presented a
proposal that will provide quality, affordable and respectful housing at the
St. Paul Tourist Cabin parcel.
c. Gena Ciganik, Vice President, explained what makes CCHT different from other
companies, and what they can bring to the Maplewood Community.
Ms. Ciganik and Mr. Arthur answered council questions. In summary, they asked council to
consider providing their support in CCHT redeveloping the 6.4 acre site in a way that would
work best for the residents and the Community of Maplewood.
d. Ned Moore, 2624 W. River Parkway, Minneapolis, APAC (All Parks Alliance for
Change)
felt the CCHT proposal is probably the only scenario that would allow the current
residents of the St. Paul Tourist Cabin parcel to stay in Maplewood. Mr. Moore asked
council to focus their primary concern on the park residents that will be displaced.
Mayor Longrie asked residents to contact council with any questions, comments or concerns
