Engagement Activities: Contribute Your Ideas for the Sites
The City of Golden Valley is working to address the need for affordable housing in the city.
The City has identified eight publicly owned sites that could potentially host affordable housing in the future. These parcels are mostly remnants from the construction of highways and are now vacant. There are no current plans for the sites and no developers are involved. Instead, the city wants to be proactive with the community, to help imagine future housing that fits the unique characteristics of each location. The ideas and suggestions that people share now will inform the nature of the housing at each site in the future.
Three of the eight sites are prioritized for study and public comments at this time, as they have the most potential for future residential use.
These sites are (please click on each link for more details about each):

How Your Input Matters
The City of Golden Valley wants the community to help set the vision for what type of housing might be located at each of these three sites in the future. In the years ahead, when the city selects a plan and developer for each site, it will be based on your ideas and priorities. The input we gather during these engagement activities will shape Housing Design Concepts for each site, to be posted here in late October. Golden Valley residents will then be invited to comment on the design concepts, and those comments will be included as part of the overall community guidance for each site. The city will use that guidance as the foundation and vision for each site’s future.
- A live, simultaneous meeting with other participants and the Project Team
- Work collaboratively with other participants (or simply observe if you prefer) to develop one or more design options for each site.
- Use interactive online drawing tools to work with others on the design, or just watch and provide suggestions.
- Discuss ideas with the Project Team and other participants during the design exercise.
- Registration is required to access the live meeting.
