Dear Commissioners:
I write today to request your approval of the Arrowleaf and Perennial Park Preliminary PUDapplication. As the non-profit partner on the development, HRDC has been working with the
lead developer, GMD to create a community-focused development that meets numerous Cityobjectives.
As a Community Action Agency, HRDC conducts a Community Needs Assessment every 3
years. We have just completed our most recent assessment, and the top needs reported inBozeman were: Affordable Housing, Child Care, Medical and Behavioral healthcare access
and affordability, and access to transportation. Working in concert with GMD, CommunityHealth Partners, and Family Promise, the proposed project makes significant contributions to
the community in all of these categories.
GMD and HRDC have a long history of creating quality developments that meet ourcommunity's housing needs. We hope that the City will approve the Preliminary PUD
application for Arrowleaf and Perennial Park, enabling the development of these criticalhousing and community facilities.
