The City of Shakopee approved land use for Prairie Pointe, supportive housing for families, in 2020 because of how important the development is in meeting the needs of the community and how deeply the projects align with the city’s stated goals and commitments around housing. The community and the city already came together around this development as a key answer to solving the growing concerns of housing instability.

But now, there is a proposal seeking to undermine these community decisions by pushing to unlawfully rezone the property in direct opposition to the city’s stated values and goals. We are shocked that the Planning Commission is considering this unprecedented move to invalidate the community decision to support Prairie Pointe and the dedicated investments that have been made.

Show up in solidarity with Prairie Pointe at the Planning Commission meeting (we’ll gather at 6:30 p.m. to prepare for the meeting at 7 p.m.) on August 3 and demonstrate that you believe quality affordable housing belongs in all communities!

Note: This is an in-person-only event.
