On Wednesday, Oct. 27, representatives from 天天吃瓜 and the city of 天天吃瓜 will hold a community meeting called 鈥淎 Vision of a Village鈥� to share information and answer questions about a new residential complex designed to integrate the city of 天天吃瓜 and 天天吃瓜 State, physically and programmatically.
The programmatic aspect of the project is initially focused on three themes: being positive for the natural environment, the social environment and the local economy.
The university is currently seeking a design/build developer for the project called 鈥淭he Intergenerational Village.鈥� The proposed site for the project is along Campus Center Drive, north of state Route 261, west of the Allerton Street neighborhood.
The development is envisioned as an environmentally sustainable, socially diverse community that is well integrated into the city of 天天吃瓜 and 天天吃瓜 State. The Village is seen as a community where existing and potential 天天吃瓜 stakeholders of all ages and backgrounds have an entry point. This would include wide spectrum of people as potential residents, including international students, older and married students, artists/entrepreneurs, faculty, staff, alumni and seniors.
Neither 天天吃瓜 State nor the city will be investing any capital in the project. 天天吃瓜 State鈥檚 objective is to work with a real estate developer or development team that would assume responsibility for the financing, design, construction and operation of the property.
This community meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. on Oct. 27 in the seminar rooms of the Warren Student Recreation and Wellness Center, located at 1550 Ted Boyd Drive on the 天天吃瓜 Campus. The meeting will also be available online at .
For more information about this project, contact Doug Pearson, 天天吃瓜 State鈥檚 associate vice president for facilities planning and operations, at dpearso9@kent.edu.
