It seeks to develop a town center or downtown for Ramsey, which The <br /> COR will provide. The mixed-use district promotes: <br /> • Higher residential densities than are common in Ramsey, where residents can take <br /> advantage of transit opportunities; <br /> • Civic places where people can gather and events can be held; <br /> • Commercial/retail to meet the needs of the community, with residential units above; <br /> • Professional offices and other places of employment. <br /> The COR is specifically identified in several sections of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as a vital <br /> component to Ramsey's future housing needs. The town center area will provide a diverse <br /> housing stock meant to attract residents of all ages and incomes by offering amenities, access to <br /> transportation, and recreation and entertainment opportunities. The Comprehensive Plan <br /> specifically highlights the importance of senior and affordable housing to the town center <br /> district. It also notes the potential for the district to attract and retain young residents through its <br /> amenities and access to transportation. <br /> INFRASTRUCTURE PLANS AND NEEDS <br /> The COR project has all necessary wet and dry utilities in place, and most major roadways. A <br /> key improvement is the planned Armstrong Boulevard interchange with TH-10. This is judged <br /> 7-8 <br />
