Subject: I support the Linder Village proposal
Dear Meridian City Council & Planning Officials:
I urge your strong support for the Linder Village proposal. 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,
Madeleine Havener
