Commission hears update: The Ridges to include about 120 senior-friendly units within larger development
Summary
Members said The Ridges development will include roughly 120 senior-friendly units as part of a ~700-unit project; final signing is expected this summer and construction may begin this fall, with rezoning work proceeding in parallel.
A commission member reported ongoing conversations about the senior-housing component of The Ridges development, saying the senior portion includes about 120 senior-friendly units within an approximately 700-unit project. The member characterized the senior component as a small portion of the overall development and said a senior-focused group has been discussing age-friendly design principles and community supports.
Speakers said recent discussions with Ohio University representatives and project stakeholders suggest a final signing may occur this summer, with construction potentially starting in the fall; rezoning matters are being handled in parallel so they will not delay the signing. No formal action or vote occurred at the commission meeting.
Members stressed the importance of partnerships with local organizations to shape services for the senior portion and said they intend to monitor planning milestones as the project progresses.
