Great turnout for Brooten senior housing meeting

A senior housing project proposed for Brooten this winter took another step forward at a community discussion held on March 8 at city hall.

A crowd of over 20 provided feedback to the facilitators and Jana Zenner, who wishes to build the project to be ready "some time" in 2019. Thursday's meeting helped shape what may go into the project for amenities and services, which in turn would affect the amount of rent that residents would pay. Zenner reported that the main site they are focusing on is the old high school lot. Overall, she was very pleased with the meeting and is excited about the project.
