Workshop Session to Take a 3-D Look at Fire Station Property Redevelopment

The Roseville Housing and Redevelopment Authority (RHRA) at 6:30 p.m. Thursday will hold the second in a series of four workshops on future development for the Dale Street Fire Station site.

The HRA, with support from a team of design and development experts, is inviting local residents to explore what future housing development is possible for the site. 

Using blocks for 3-D dimensions

Thursday's  two-hour "meeting will be especially interesting as the residents will be using blocks to create 3-D representations on what type of development they would like to see on the properties,''  Pat Trudgeon, Roseville director of community development, told Roseville Patch. 

This session and two other remaining ones are scheduled to held at . All are free and open to the public.
