<br />23 April 2020 <br /> <br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />Attn.: Mr. Zack Carlton <br /> <br />RE: Elk Ridge Lodge Apartments Support Letter <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Carlton: <br /> <br />Apartments, which is proposed to be constructed next door to Elk Ridge Shopping Center, in <br />which we operate a Goodwill Store. <br /> <br />I understand that CommonBond is requesting land use approvals from the City for this critically <br />important housing community. We strongly support their proposal as: <br /> <br /> the development will provide much-needed additional housing choices that will not <br />only benefit the broader community, but also our store employees and customers; <br /> the parcel has been vacant since the original development of the shopping center, and a <br />new development will add vibrancy and life to the area; <br /> the high-quality and attractive design is complimentary to that of the shopping center in <br />which we operate; and <br /> they are adequately addressing parking demand. <br /> <br />We appreciate the opportunity to submit this letter of support, and we strongly recommend <br /> <br /> <br />Please contact me with any questions at MWirth-Davis@gesmn.org. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> Michael Wirth-Davis <br />President & CEO <br />Goodwill-Easter Seals Minnesota <br />
