That brief introduction to the project one which offered up few details, other than the prospect of 40 units of market housing for the community.

As the May 23rd notes reveal, the 9th West plans are but one of two high profile housing plans on the radar for City Council.

The other is for an apartment complex on Hays Cove at Frederick a proposal for a 35 unit multi-family complex which was introduced on May 8th and is part of the City's Rapid Housing initiative, with the city currently seeking Federal funding for it's development.

The Hays Cove plans moved forward to Statutory notification on May 11th.

Both projects are located on City owned land which has been identified for housing use.
