+ As presented by Strategic Development Officer Brock Cherry: the site lies immediately west of the Valley View neighborhood and south of the Wilcox Subdivision. The proposal is a mixed residential neighborhood of '''115 dwelling units''' — 65 single-family homes and duplex units and two apartment buildings totalling 50 apartments — with parks, open space, recreational amenities and supporting infrastructure. All housing is to be administered by the Little Shell Tribe as rental or lease housing intended for tribal members.
