Plans for three new apartment buildings are moving through the City's approval process.
It's no secret that redevelopment in Golden Valley is a big deal. The city is full of older homes and structures that remind neighbors of the community's historical roots.

Twelve acres of land near Douglas Drive and Highway 55 were targeted as areas of future redevelopment at a City meeting this week.
At a joint Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and Planning Commission meeting this week, staff examined the need to begin redevelopment efforts in Golden Valley.

Plans for corporate campus in Golden Valley should be complete by the fall.
Golden Valley is close to having a plan for new retail and office space at Highway 55 and Douglas Drive, according to City Planner Joe Hogeboom. “It’s a pretty critical section,” Hogeboom said Tuesday. “It’s right in the geographic center of our city, so to have things go in kind of haphazardly, we thought would kind of be irresponsible.” The city council passed a development moratorium on the site last year to study possible land uses. The council will decide July 5 whether to approve another moratorium to complete the master plan and recommend a new zoning district for the site, but Hogeboom said planning would most likely be complete by the end of the summer. Mayor Linda Loomis said an additional moratorium is not necessary to continue …

I work in Brooklyn Park with its many apartment complexes and have heard on TV and the radio about increased crime rates there. I would be OK with one new apartment complex in Golden Valley, hopefully with no Section 8 housing in it, but not more than that. I would be in favor of more apartments for seniors; there is already an upswing as the population ages. more ›
