Last year the city announced plans for Pender Crossing, a new affordable housing project near the site of Pender Street Park. The multifamily property will include 48 apartments with a mix of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units and will have onsite parking, a community building and other amenities. The apartments will be priced to be affordable by people who work in the surrounding area.

The city will build a new park and center in the area. This public meeting will provide additional details on the park relocation and site layout, as well as review the amenities proposed for the new center. These amenities include a basketball court, playground, open space, a walking path, shelter and meeting space. During the meeting, the team will share potential park and center designs and provide ways for the public to provide input.
