Free Land Up for Grab in DougCo?
What's the price tag of the prime Parcel P-7 at the corner of Ridgegate Pkwy and Meridian Village Pkwy that Shea Properties is so interested in? Are they getting a land disposal deal from Douglas County for part of this public land? Is the Meridian Metropolitan District also swapping land with Shea Properties?
If all of that gets passed, will rezoning of this parcel from park to high density housing to follow?
All in the name of an apartment complex (for profit). Who wins?
These are questions that needs to be answered.
One thing for certain, Aztec Consulting, LLC (https://www.aztecconsultants.com/) have spent close to two weeks surveying this property - from the air, on the surface, and underground. Hired by Douglas County and the Meridian Metropolitan District to fully map out this land that has been under shared posession by both of these public entities for decades.
Perhaps, this is the first step to converting this open field into a park...
Perhaps, the survey results will be enough to turn Shea Properties away from doing what they do best...
Perhaps, this survey is DougCo and the Meridian Metro District's tactic to drive public engagement in support of creative solution to define the best use of this land...
