This mixed-use proposal will create an exciting new atmosphere for shopping and dining that the community will enjoy as well as a new residential neighborhood close to amenities in high demand. The Meridian Comprehensive Plan recommends services such as grocery stores within walking distance of residential communities. The Comprehensive Plan also urges the provision of housing options close to employment and shopping centers. Linder Village is supportive of these guidelines. This proposal is also an opportunity for private development to facilitate road improvements that the corridor needs. The traffic improvements that are included as part of the Linder Village proposal will help increase mobility and safety for drivers and pedestrians at and around one of the corridor's major arterial intersections. Finally, Linder Village will promote economic development to position Meridian for success for decades to come. The proposal will create jobs and generate substantial tax revenue to help fund vital City services. Existing businesses will also benefit from opportunities to attract new customers living at Linder Village. Ultimately, Linder Village is a proposal that will proudly serve the community, and I urge your strong support to help ensure this project becomes a reality. Sincerely, David Altman 469 W Valentino Street Meridian ZIP Code: 83646 (208) 672-2317 david.altman44@gmail.com DLA By initialing above and clicking submit, I understand that the letter displayed above will be forwarded to Meridian elected and public officials on my behalf. --- Form submitted from: 198.199.222.32 Ref#: 886
