The city of Bloomington, Minnesota is bracing for a shake-up in the local real estate scene as major changes to the Bloomington Central Station planned development are on the horizon, with a public hearing set to let residents have their say. According to the City's announcement, the Bloomington Planning Commission is gearing up to hold this pivotal hearing on January 18th, inviting public scrutiny and input on the plan that includes a new five-story, 164-unit senior apartment building.

Developed by a partnership between McGough Construction Co., Inc., BCS GD WEST LLC, and BCS4 MULTIFAMILY LLC, the proposed revision to the existing development plan could reshape an entire neighborhood, and for those who want to weigh in, the doors to the Council Chambers will be open starting at 6:00 p.m. at the Bloomington Civic Plaza. For those who can't make it in person, the city has multiple electronic means to tune in or participate, from watching BTV’s broadcast to engaging via phone or computer with the details provided on the City's official website.

Critics and supporters alike are expected to flood in, and for those opting to participate remotely, a Webex conference link with the platform's access codes, and instructions for engagement are laid out on the City's dedicated webpage, ensuring no one misses their chance to contribute to the discussion.

For any interested parties, detailed case files are ripe for review at the Community Development Department during regular business hours. For more information or to submit comments, Senior Planner Mike Centinario is the point of contact, reachable at his BloomingtonMN email or via phone, with all his details listed on the hearing notice on the City's webpage
