Projects and Initiatives in West 7th

The Federation values local businesses, housing that is affordable for our residents and our elders, and development that is equitable for the neighborhood. For more detail on what the Federation expects in projects, read our 2006/2012 District Plan.

Proposed, current, and recently completed developments in our neighborhood are listed below. Unless indicated, the Federation is not a developer or owner of the project. If you have questions about the Federation's process or a specific project, please call the office at 651.298.5599 or send an email.

• A great concern we've heard in the neighborhood the lack of affordable housing, particularly for seniors and long-time residents of the neighborhood to stay in West 7th. The Federation Board of Directors voted to support applications for variances for this project. The Board wants people to be able to continue to live in the neighborhood if they choose and this provides 47 additional affordable apartments for West 7th. 
• Public Hearing Notice for hearing on April 13 at 3 pm.
