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 />
