Diamond Square Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting · 2026-04-20 · agenda_item

A 55 and older housing community is planned for a flat greenspace area. The project, presented by Travis Lorenzen and Kate Ditulio, will involve students and aims to sell homes at appraised value with down payment assistance and potentially a forgivable loan. Most homes will be built with CMU, with brick and stick frame construction considered based on cost. A Brownfields Phase 1 assessment is required before construction can start. This project is currently under review, with the Diamond Square CRA interested in its progress and role. The work will likely involve site preparation, including the Brownfields assessment, followed by foundation and CMU construction, then mechanical and finish trades, and finally landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site prep, CMU construction, and related trades can find opportunities by engaging early, before final plans and bids are set.
